Today we’re bringing the baby and going to Charlottesville to visit some friends who just moved there. It’s funny, I’ll feel like I’m skipping class if I go down without getting a lesson from Greg. ? Over the weekend we saw The Others and What Women Want. The first movie …
OK, so I discovered the POD thing is documented on page 5-4 of the manual. But it’s still pretty cool. I set up a bank of patches where I can start and overdub a loop, play over it on the same side without overdubs if I like, and then let …
From Hell was much better than I thought it would be. While not exceedingly true (except in subject matter) to the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, it at least retained the same mordant tone. Johnny Depp was very good, as he usually is, and Ian Holm was …
Eleya and I joined Netflix and got our first three movies today: From Hell, The Others, and What Women Want. Can’t wait to check them out, and more importantly, see how Netflix does over the next couple of months. We can watch movies at a pretty good clip so we’ll …
My gear setup went really well yesterday. I now can plug my bass guitar into the front of my SWR Redhead and use the built-in preamp, and the effects send goes to my compressor, which returns instead of to the amp, to a channel on my little Mackie 1202VLZ mixer. …

The good people at FedEx dropped off my Bass POD Pro yesterday. I haven’t wired it up with my Stick yet, but I did use it as a front end for my bass to try it out — WOW! What a load of tone. When I flicked up the “Sub …
I’m selling my gorgeous blue Strat on eBay. Go visit the auction and then buy it. Now. That is an order. I’ll have an ADAT XT up shortly as well. Check back for details!
It’s been a busy day. The major thing I accomplished today was customizing a network boot & installation disk for our office to install Red Hat Linux 7.3. At some point I’ll write a little article and post it here describing how I did it. It was actually quite simple; …
