I guess God made a deposit

Remember this post where God’s check bounced and the stupid bank lost the copy of it?

Well, the bank did some kind of “special” transaction so that they could redeposit the check. And guess what? God apparently made a deposit because the check cleared this time.

I guess God was running a little thin between paychecks…

Here’s what I really do when I go golfing

The cat is out of the bag (so to speak). Before any rumors start floating around out there I’d like to be the first one to come clean about what I do when I go golfing. This pic should give you the idea.

Thanks to my pal Rich at Eat Golf for letting out my “little secret.”

Proper techniques for storing analog tape

A client brought in some old reels from the 50’s or 60’s. These are cherished recordings of his now deceased mother performing plays back in her college days. These tapes show some new ways of storing irreplaceable analog recordings.

The two newest and best ways of storing analog reels are:

  1. Partially wrap the reel in aluminum foil. Be sure NOT to completely wrap the reel as the desired “effect” will not be achieved. It is also best to use foil that was previously used to wrap your last remaining piece of pizza when you went out to dinner the week before. The grease from the pizza serves to coat the tape with a lubricant which ensures smooth running operation of your old Teac 4300 reel machine.
  2. Stuff toilet paper into 2/3 of the reel. It is crucial NOT to stuff the toilet paper completely around the entire reel, or the desired “effect” will once again not be achieved.

Blogger image upload features upgraded

I use WordPress for my golf blog and it totally kicks ass. It is way better than blogger (I use blogger here). But blogger is plenty functional for Pro Sound Blog.

So they’ve just upgraded the photo uploading and it seems to work much better as seen in the Butt Probe Post. Cool.
