Jerry Sandusky Interview

Here is the Penn State Sex Scandal Jerry Sandusky Full Interview that everyone wished they had seen. Sandusky served as an assistant coach for his entire career, mostly at Pennsylvania State University under Joe Paterno, and was one of the most notable major college football coaches never to have held a head coaching position. He received Assistant Coach of the Year awards in 1986 and 1999. In November 2011, he was arrested and charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15-year period.

Seriously. What's wrong with that man?

Bass Compressor

A compressor is a device, (pedal or rackmount) that decreases the dynamic range of a signal by lowering the gain above a certain threshold. Make sense? Didn't think so. If you want the best explanation regarding what a bass compressor does, read the linked article.

I've always had a bass compressor in my arsenal of gadgets. They can be incredibly useful, but a bass compressor is a tool. If you're using it to fix problems with your playing levels, you're using it wrong. You can fix that with your fingers and your ears. Use a bass compressor to enhance your playing, not mask your mistakes.

Southwest Boarding Pass

Don't get me wrong. I love Southwest Airlines. The prices are good. The service is good. The flight attendants can be downright funny at times. But, man, I can't stand their boarding procedure. Cattle calls are just not fun, even when you're flying alone. It's a pain in the neck for families, though.

Unless you're in boarding group A, then the chances are very good you may not be able to sit with your wife and children. That's not good for the family, and it's not good for the other passengers. Kids need to be tended to, but when a mother and father are not sitting with their kids, it's just not easy.

There is a solution, though. You can get your Southwest Boarding Pass processed automatically from your own computer using free software. They just charge a couple of bucks per reservation number. Now you don't have to stress about being on the web exactly 24 hours before your flight to do a web check-in. Just leave your computer on with this software running, and Bob's your uncle!
