Assorted musings ...
Recently I got a used Roland Micro Cube amp.
It's neat, tiny and has built effects....ie...chorus, flanger, and so on.
I run the Korg Kaoscillator and the BSY600 * pedal through it.
Weird bleepy goodness !
* The BSY600 stomp box has 11 selectable modes from Square to Saw to Pulse synth waveforms... plus FOUR more rotary controls for Effect level, Resonance, Decay/Rate, High-to-Low Frequency and a Direct knob for controlling dry-to-effects output.
The Roland is awesome as it can run off AC or batteries..so I can sit in bed or on the futon and create some wacky noise/tunes.
As for the Behringer BSY600, well that's a nice stomp box.
I'm currently attempting to make a APC...atari punk console...a lil d.i.y. stompbox/noise maker. :) Today's catchphrase(s) is " lo-fi " , " noise" and " chip tunes".

On the work front...doing a job for a office in Newark NJ. Ahhhh, the joys of computers.
It pays the bills.

Well, the gf is here.
We made it back from Idaho to NJ in record time...heck , we drove from Indiana to NJ in a day.
So it went like this...me flying from Newark to SLC, spent a day or 2 in SLC then to Tater land (my code name for Idaho). A few days there and drove cross country to NJ.
Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa (cattle,corn, mountains,etc)....and then to the lovely traffic and rude people in NJ. The Honda Accord was packed with boxes, me and the gf and a Conure ( a bird). :D
Still a wee bit tired but all in all we're happy. I haven't felt this good in eons. Falling asleep in her arms....waking up to her smile, feeling her touch...WOW !
The household is a happy one...me, the love of my life, 2 kitties and 2 birds ( a conure and a budgie). Ironically the cats don't mess with the birds, they look, stare and loose interest and then find something else to get into.
