Every working web developer should listen to Jeremy and consider his approach. No, he doesn’t say that you shouldn’t use JavaScript. No, he doesn’t say that you can’t use Ember to Backbone your React into your Sassy SPA.
What he does say is that you/we should build websites that last, websites that embrace the inherent unstableness of the web, rather that relying on perfect conditions.
So I’ve made a YouTube video. I’ve been pondering the idea of making a video for a while now, mostly because I like to try out various ways of expressing myself online. (Which is the reason why I also occasionally do a microcast.) I’ve made a few videos for work that I’ve put up on YouTube but I wanted to make something that wasn’t for work, something where I speak into the camera vlog style for at least a part of the video.
So the thought of making a video has been spinning around in my head and little over a week ago I finally stumbled upon something to make it about. Here’s what I wrote in the description on YouTube:
An attempt to make a sound similar to what the Edge has on Zooropa, using a Fender Telecaster, Mooger Fooger MF-101 Low Pass Filter, Line6 Echo Park, Boss ME50 and a ZVex Nano Head amp.
A few weeks back I watched a video from Pro Guitar Shop where Andy played Zooropa using a ZVex Super Seek Wah and two delays and I got really fascinated by it. It made me realize how simple the actual playing in this song is and made me think about making my own version. Then the other day I recalled that we have a bunch of Mooger Fooger pedals at work and I started to wonder whether the Low Pass Filter with an envelope could be used as the auto-wah effect.
The answer, in my opinon, is yes and this is the video I made using the Mooger Fooger and two delay pedals from my ”collection”.
Maybe this is the only video I’ll make, maybe it’s the first of many. Right now I don’t know but I do know it felt good to hit publish on this, even though I have a lot of complaints to myself about the technical quality of the video, but I’ll save that for another day.
Men vilken rolig film! ? Den skulle vi gärna vilja dela med oss av på våra sociala medier! Om det är OK med dig får du gärna maila den till socialt@alvsbyhus.se. Trevlig sommar! ?
John Green’s TEDx Talk is a great from beginning to end. The tidbit about how the creation of a ”Paper Town” led to the creation of a real town was new to me and totally in my wheel house.
Teaser #2 for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out and Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!!!
I promised myself that I should not get my hopes up too high, last time I had high hopes for a new Star Wars movie it didn’t turn out well, but I don’t think it’s possible for me to hold myself back. Once I’m seated in the theater and hear the music begin and the logo fade away I’ll be like a child on christmas.
Här får ni någonting vackert att njuta av på söndagsmorgonen, Daniel Lanois spelar låten ”JJ Leaves L.A.”. När jag ser och hör det här blir jag jättesugen på att köpa en pedal steel guitar och lära mig att spela.
