Blog

This is where I tell you what I really think. This website doesn’t support comments by design, that is what your blog is for!

  1. Playing Computer Part 1

    The first in a series of articles that will expose the ineptitude of the common working man when it comes to his dealings with the pinnacle of office appliances: The Personal Computer.

  2. Meisel MCT-7L, The Perfect Tuner!

    I've used Boss TU-12H tuners since I was in Jr. high school. They are very accurate, have a huge frequency range, a built in mic, and line-in and out to let you put it in your signal chain. Despite their light weight and seemingly flimsy plastic cases, they are surprisingly durable. I'm only on my second one in 15 years.

  3. Oscar Worthy Performance? Some and None.

    I saw Walk The Line this weekend with my sweetheart. It was pretty alright—about what I expected as far as performances and story line goes. Obviously, there was a lot of attention to detail paid to getting a good Johnny Cash out of Joaquin Phoenix, and I think it paid off. I also think I prefer Reese Witherspoon’s June Carter Cash to the actual one.

  4. Rockabilly Slap Bass Videos

    This post is specifically for John E. who is on his way to becoming one of Sacramento's premiere doghouse slappers. These quick little snippets helped me out a great deal when I was learning to slap.

  5. Dreamweaver Dumbass Edition

    Last weekend, the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia was completed. Its implications have been in the back of my mind since the announcements over the summer, some of which have already come to light.

    Last week I voiced my concern over what would become of my beloved Fireworks workflow, and raised a thought about Dreamweaver's shortcomings as a professional web development tool. Now that the proverbial shit is starting to hit the fan, I've had one or two more thoughts about these shortcomings, or more appropriately, inconsistencies with the rest of the Adobe CS suite, and how they might just be able to turn them around.
