I left off oddballs like the Whammy and Ravish Sitar, plus the Boss BD-2 & Waza CE-2. But that's the fancy big brother brother to this baby board, which offers most of the same functionality.

But if the minis get everything done...? I might sell the big guns....!

Now that the pedals are almost all sold, I took some of the keepers and rebuilt my main board.

Olympic update: It’s slippery out there

I mean technically I don’t care who wins but

Enjoy your superb owl Sunday

Two things:

1. This Caline Pure Sky is crazy good at $30/ I sold several high-proflie drives but kept this Timmy clone because it always sounds great. If the generic branding bothers you, there's acetone -- wipe it off, call it boutique. But it sounds epic

2. Is Guitar Center off its meds?

How many Olympic gold medals will he claim he deserves

He got something from FIFA and a second-hand Nobel plaque so more stolen valor is on brand

Just two items left! A fantastic chorus pedal made famous by Slash on "Paradise City" and a handy tool for reducing noise. Ready to ship! Cheap! Buy 'em!

Wow, I love this genre and honestly didn't realize how many games were out there...!

Their font is a choice

Another day another deicide

Honestly the players with the most overcompensating names are the most fun to defeat

I still struggle at the unicycle part

He’s not coming to the Super Bowl because…it’s too far away!

Um, to be seen as a strong man, you generally have to be not afraid of things like liberal governors or states of the union that didn’t vote for you

Well, cue Sammy Hagar, because this is 55. This year I find myself thinking about all the positive changes from the last 10 years -- improved physical & mental health, significant creative output, great guitars, a forever home. Super grateful.

I don't feel old, but I will admit there are signs.

I grew up watching game shows; game show host is truly my dream job. And I am so dismayed & annoyed by what’s wrong with the latest Martin Short-hosted Match Game reboot.

The stars, writers & producers fundamentally don’t understand why the old show worked.

For the next half hour I will expla

Oh, I absolutely never make fun of people for not having the same experience that I have had or seeking out knowledge or sharing that knowledge. We gotta learn and teach. It does not stop me from feeling ancient when things I take for granted are now rarified bits of knowledge!

I mean, you have half your life ahead of you 😀

Age is just a number.

Not recognizing every song in an Weird Al polka medley? THAT means you're old.

Everything was fine. The balance of power tilted naturally, generationally. Then one side started using slimy tactics to tip things in their favor. So I voted yes on 50.

So I don't want to hear one muppet-hugging peep about this being "unfair" out of the people who forced this outcome.

I had one. I had a gen 1 Genesis with a gen 2 CD, then 32X on top of that -- all of this was before I was in the biz, so I actually paid hard-earned college-student money for that gear! And then when I got Sonic & Knuckles, I was like, well...I gotta do this. :P

DOJ raises 'national security' concerns in legal fight over Trump ballroom The administration has asked a judge to stay any injunction he might issue to halt construction of President Donald Trump's ballroom, citing national security.

"Halting the construction would 'leave an unsightly excavation site in President’s Park indefinitely.'"

That's fine. You do something stupid, sometimes you need a reminder of that mistake for future generations.

Live with the "unsightly" consequence of arrogance.

Dan Baird

Every so often I suddenly remember Dan Baird absolutely kicks ass. Love Songs for the Hearing Impaired is one of my favorite albums of the 90s.

Not fiction. Not hyperbole. Definitely not an overreaction.

One of my most fun memories was going to a Sega press junket where I got to meet Stan Lee over dinner, as a promotional stunt for the Spider-Man and X-Men 32X games in development. I have always been a bit socially awkward, but even I relished the chance to meet Stan The Man.

I get it, 32X underperformed 30 years ago, but "did you ever wonder why some Sega CD games had an orange spine" is a level of education I did not think we'd need since it actually says 'Sega 32X CD' on the same box

You know I'm all for preservation but, you know, basic comprehension too

This week I saw someone make an online video talking about this rare Sega thing that nobody knows about because it's ancient and it was just the 32X and I was distracted as I looked at my hands and watched them crumble into dust

Got prescription reading glasses, which I guess I never realized was a thing until the doctor suggested it and the insurance said it was fully covered so yeah okay #gratefulwed

To handle some financial goals, I have been able to move a fair amount of gear. I am really hoping not to cut prices any further, though. #GratefulWed

3-day weekend coming up #gratefulwed
