Friday Update - Thile, Rig, EE, RSS, Projects
Right on. Here’s what I’m into lately.
Music
Chris Thile and the How to Grow a Band I had the pleasure of seeing these fine musicians last week at the Birchmere in Alexandria. Fantastic show in a fantastic venue. I got to meet Mr. Mandolin after the show. Total highlight.
Reshaping my guitar rig. I’ve added a new chorus pedal, the Electro Harmonix Small Clone, at the recommendation of a buddy. The chorus love is amazing on this thing. Good call, Chris. Here’s my current full rig in a nutshell:
Fender Strat (w/ EMGs) or Ibanez Artist Series AR-1505 → Boss TU-2 → EH Small Clone → Morley Bad Horsie Wah → ADA MP-1 Tube Preamp ↑ Alesis Compressor · Lexicon Alex · Boss DD-5 ↓ Peavey Classic 30
Web Technology
ExpressionEngine Wow. Worth every single penny.
Newshutch Digging my new newsreader. Thanks, Matt, for the heads up.
Script.aculo.us Finally had the opportunity to play with this small Ajax framework. Now I just have to figure out where to tastefully apply these js effects. They are quite lovely.
Projects
Finishing up a few projects. The most recent one is Crossings Church in Richmond, Virginia. A couple in the pipe are Binary Church, a personal project, and Chase the Lion, a microsite for our pastor’s recent book.
