Christmas 2007: Kat wins
Paranoid, subterfuge, double-crossing, lies, and trickery. This is Christmas in my house. And it’s always merry. When Kat asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said “It seems silly, but I’d like a Baby Taylor.” This didn’t surprise her; … Continue reading

5150 360 III
First it was a faceplate. Then it was a controller. Now the trilogy is complete. Mad props as always to Greg at Orbiter Guitars, who says that he is never VH-striping another game peripheral as long as he lives. Don’t … Continue reading

I love Eric Clapton…
…but I also have a sense of humor. This makes me laugh until I almost pee myself. Check out his similar, um, riffs on Eddie Van Halen, Metallica, Angus Young, and others.

I can play without all the mucky-muck
After years of keeping it old-school, the new, more active dynamic of the band has convinced me/given me an excuse to go wireless. I paid too much for a really nice Sennheiser EW 172 setup, which does all kinds of … Continue reading
