      Cartoons and simple perl scripts that do simple things in an invisible way. Also every time I have an idea for a video game it’s been done, unsatisfactorily.

      You know, I’d always thought Jimmy Page was the first to use the violin bow on the electric guitar. So I looked it up and found this: Jimmy Page being interviewed by Rolling Stone.

      “What attracted you to the bow? It is the signature sound in ‘Dazed and Confused.’
      It was proposed to me when I was doing studio work. One of the session violinists was the father of David McCallum, the actor in the TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. String players would keep to themselves, but this guy was quite friendly. He said to me one day — we’d just finished a session — ‘Have you ever tried bowing the guitar?’ I said it wouldn’t work. The strings aren’t arched over the guitar, the way they are on a violin. He said, ‘Have a go.’ He gave me a bow. I tried it and realized there was something in it. I don’t remember if I used it on any sessions, but I certainly used it the minute I was in the Yardbirds [notably on the 1967 single ‘Little Games’].”

      So this guy has him beat by a year. Then again, of these guys was a roadie for Led Zeppelin I think.

      what i make in the comfort of my own home is my business.

      fine, i’ll do one.

      last night i made some cake dough, which i ate raw (sans eggs) with a handful of chocolate chips. by made, i mean i dumped the powder in a big bowl, poured some milk, creamer, and water in, and then went to town while watching “Hung”. Not a bad show by the by.
