The Lego Shelf

My Lego shelf is almost complete. I still have a select few Castle sets I'd like to pickup (the new stuff, with the orcs and dwarfs) but other than that it's nearly done. It's been a blast having a new house with enough space for this kind of stuff. The last 2 weeks I've spent quite a few evenings downstairs with Andy (our 2.5 year old) building and playing castle games with the sets. He's enjoying it immensely and I am too. Every day I get home from work and he says "Daddy! Want to go downstairs and play lego!". I have to try and contain his excitement while we eat supper, but then after we head down to the basement and bust out the lego. It's nice to have somebody to play with again :)

“Mayerish” by davemo, featuring plushdaryl

I've been meaning to get back into recording some of the billion ideas in my head into digital format. Mostly so I can move on and maybe use the bits and pieces of riffs I keep playing over and over, but also cause I eventually want to get to the point where I can record a few songs playing all the instruments. (I can play the instruments now, it's just the recording techniques and the software/hardware I need to get my head around).

I was working on an idea tonight on guitar, laid down 2 tracks with the pretty spiffy fourtrack app for the iPhone and then started mulling over what to do next. Ended up talking to @darylpierce (aka plushdaryl) and he got me to download the most excellent reaper to test out some of the features. A couple of .ogg files later and he'd laid down a bass groove and a scratch beat to go with. It's not pretty, but it was fun and I think it will lead to more experimentation.

I called it "mayerish" cause it reminded me of something John Mayer might write on guitar :P

The sky in #saskatoon tonight is amazing. Like some weird alternate reality.

It must have been the combination of Monday and Morning; I thought we had “Breast Cancer” in the fridge.

Using the “sed” (stream editor) in mac os x terminal to bulk rename files based on pattern matching

This is pretty useful, piping the results of the echo to the "sed" command which stands for "stream editor" and then iterating over things in a loop and batch renaming them. I could have renamed them manually, but this was more fun and I learned something :)
