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. …

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. It’s been busy here! Today we had the carpets cleaned at the house and thus had to move everything from most of the house into a very small fraction of that area, resulting in complete chaos. Thankfully they look great and we have …
So we saw Episode II on Sunday. My impressions: Uneven pacing. The first half hour you expect some setup; we start off with a bang, but then there’s about an hour of what attempts to be plot and character development, but really amounts to no more than people scooting around …
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!

Evie was a lot of fun today. We took her to the farmers’ market and walked all around town, including one of the prettiest residential areas in town. We saw our dream house there, and it was for sale… unfortunately we won’t be able to afford it for, oh, about …
Hadn’t practiced in a few days because I was very busy at work and at home… but last night I noodled for about 45 minutes and found that I was a little re-energized after my “time off.” I remember encountering the same phenomenon for the first time in high school …
I’m downloading Red Hat Linux 7.3 today at work. I found a pretty fast mirror so hopefully I’ll have it by the end of the day. The world’s best operating system just got better! I’m using RHL for my band’s Web server as well as for just about everything I …
