Hello all. My name is Kevin. I work at MIT as a Serials Acquisition Assistant in the Libraries. I like thinking that I know how to make the world better. I also like sports, books, biking, and arguing. I am obsessed with music, sleep, and food. I believe that only the basest of human endeavors are of any value, which is why I fret daily over my decision to enter into the GSLIS program. Then again, I suppose one needs a career these days to support the base. Anyway...

Here's my outdated resume! Sweet.

My Bass

(and my spinet, too...) 

                                       Image:bass.jpg

This is a bass guitar I built a year ago while in between jobs after graduation from college.

Things that were used in its construction:

Things lying around my house:

  • A washtub
  • A piece of plywood
  • A piece of red oak
  • A broom-handle
  • A 2x4 from the wall in the room that was destroyed when my basement got flooded out
  • The bottom board of the foot of my old bed

Things I bought:

  • Machine head tuners from Guitar Center=>(yuck...)
  • Screws and washers from Home Depot (They use FSC certified wood, yay!)
  • Epoxy bonding from Home Depot
  • Strings from somewhere online... (These cost more than everything else combined times four but they are worth it)
