Link's coat gets a bit wild looking after a shampoo and air drying but it will relax in a day or two.
Day 359: It's gotten cooler finally here in Chicago, so that means my Cookie Monster socks get to make their appearance for the cold weather season :) My cat, Fuzz, decided he needed to be in on the camera action, you can see him walking by behind my feet :)
Fuzz went to the TV to look at the Discovery Channel logo but then got interested in penguins. I hear penguins taste like cold chicken.
This is a pedal I built around 94' based on a modified Foxtone octave fuzz. This was my defining sound in a band named "the plastic factory" (yes, after the captain beefheart song). My mates dubbed it the "fuzz factory" for obvious reasons. Note that I never bothered to clean the road grime off of the VW hubcap. To this day, whenever I play through this fuzz, I just seem to play better. It is the most inspiring thing I have built to date. I installed a crude feedback circuit consisting of a cap and a pot from the input to the output, this somehow fed the output back into the input causing ridiculous amounts of noise and gain. The switch on the left adds the octave, the switch on the right adds the feedback, the pots control feedback level, gain, tone, and output level. Truly a piece of art!
Last night, myself, Angel, Scott, Ashby, Bob and Susan went to an advance screening of Hot Fuzz, from the makers of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced, with a Q&A afterwards with (from left) star Nick Frost, writer/director Edgar Wright, and writer/star Simon Pegg. Easily both the funniest movie I've seen in recent (or not so recent) memory, and most certainly the funniest Q&A I've attended. Too bad I couldn't get a very good photo.
