Diego Budicin: Tutorial 8 finger Venice Tapping

No Place Says “Romance” Like Venice, Italy!
2012-04-01 10:24:00 No Place Says “Romance” Like Venice, Italy! You’ve seen the photos. You’ve heard the stories about moonlit gondola rides through the canals and hand-in-hand strolls down dimly lit streets surrounded by grand buildings that speak of a rich and sometimes tumultuous history. But unless you’ve been to Venice, you don’t really understand the feeling you get when you cross the Bridge of Sighs or listen to the strains of the gondolier as he sings his favorite Italian tune. Truly, everyone who has even a remotely romantic bone in their body should make a trip to Venice with their special someone. Even the likes of Paris and other “romantic” cities don’t compare with stunning Venice, renowned for its breathtaking Venetian Gothic architecture, its amazing art museums, and – simply – its overall beauty. While many will tell you that Venice has seen better days – some studies suggest the city is sinking and many buildings have been affected – it still ranks...

A Designer's Crawl: Accessories, Art, & Furniture from Venice, CA
2010-08-16 01:18:00 At last, here are pix from my 6-hour walk through Venice, CA storefronts by the Beach. This is the one of the bestest parts of being an Interior Designer: discovering wonderful places with unique objects. These sources are in the same "general category" as the Chicago area showrooms in my last blog post. But in no way do these dealers in Chicago and LA overlap: each gallery/store has its own personality, vibe and selection. And soon I'll add photos from NYC, too. Next time in LA, I'll crawl around closer to 90210. What you can find in boutiques, galleries and shops like these will make a house personal and (dare I say) extraordinary. Even when I won't seriously consider...

737conserve Venice Green Home
2009-04-13 16:51:00 Remember when we mentioned project7ten? We were probably one of the earliest to mention the wildly popular home, so we were interested to notice that some of the same folks behind project7ten just finished another green home called 737conserve. Located at 737 Milwood Avenue and designed by Patrick Tighe, 737conserve has the same warm and modern feel that project7ten has. Here are some photos and a list of of its many green elements: An expansive green roof; On-site, solar photovoltaic array; Smart home energy management system; WaterSense plumbing by Kohler; Non-toxic glues, solvents, and paints; Energy-efficient Lennox HVAC system; Energy-efficient windows; UltraTouch denim insulation; and A green, natural lap pool; The Venice, California home is absolutely stunning and progressive with flourishes of green.

We learn little about her character other than she is a lesbian and that her father bailed out on her a long time ago. While her first scene doesn't shake the screen her scene with Randy on the boardwalk in midwinter is both beautiful and touching.

Venice Surf Report 06/06/08 The Economy Has Still Got It
2008-06-06 16:05:00 Decided to check Bay St. again this morning as it was kinda cool when I saw it yesterday and it brought back a little nostalgia from when I started at Swellmagnet all those years ago.Plus, the tide is a -1.5 ft at 6:30 am, so I knew that Venice would be pretty much worthless.And guess what? So was Bay St. There is some pretty decent windswell in the chest / head high range, but there just isn't enough water to get anything going other than 3 block long, super dumpy closeouts, with nary a snaggable corner to be had. I say give it a chance to fill in, say around 10:30 or so. The winds should still be manageable, you'll be getting a decent push up from the tides and the dawn patrol should be long gone. Of course, this is assuming you don't have a job and can make your own schedule. Either way, I'm stuck here at my desk hoping my ankle feels better by tomorrow so I can get out there.About 5-6 dudes out scattered around Towers 18-20, calm/variable winds, beautiful day shaping up, bri...

Venice Surf Report 06/05/08 Bay St. Exclusive
2008-06-05 21:14:00 Had to go to the docs today to get my ankle air cast fixed. Turns out the only things wrong with it were a) it was on backwards and 2) their was no air in it. Other than that, though, A-OK.Onshore at 5-7 kts at Bay St. but there were three guys out there scoring some nice rides in the waist high range.Keep an eye on the wind, that is what will kill it eventually. Real high tide tonight might offer up some fun at the Pier or the Breakwater if the winds behave.So, again, I don't know why I keep postng these as I guess it really isn't news anymore, but once again the car infront of me on then 10 starts weaving like the driver is drunk, so I go to pass and guess what? Yep, another drive by makeup apply.Why not, though? I mean, maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong. Maybe the reason I don't enjoy my commute is I don't provide myself with enough distraction while I am behind the wheel.But not anymore. Nope, tomorrow I am bringing my portable DVD player, the laptop, a book and mayb...
Venice Surf Report 06/04/08 Heeeeere's Foreclosure!
2008-06-04 16:20:00 Venice Surf Report Free Daily Surf Report Venice BeachEhhhhh....Super low tide, onshore at 5-7 kts, overcast, kinda chilly / drizzly BUT.....there were some corners being snagged out there. Windswell in the knee-waist high range is a lot of fun for the 80 lb and under crowd, but if you can get that bigger board turned and slotted, well, there are some plus sets if you are choosy.And it's gotta be more fun than work, right? Or at least make work more fun if you have to go afterwards.Winds are supposed to increase to 30 kts this afternoon so given that it has already started I do not think you have the luxury of waiting for the tide to fill in. 5-6 out total, parking about 50% gone, onshores steady and freshening, slight bump on the water and cool and overcast conditions.So, think the foreclosure problem is isolated to poor people who were duped into signing loan docs they didn't understand? Not so fast. Word out today that Ed McMahon, longtime sidekick of Johnny Carson on NBC's Th...
Venice Surf Report 06/03/08 Randy Randy
2008-06-03 17:15:00 Venice Surf Report Free Surf Report Southern CaliforniaClean, but small. Combine that with a negative low tide, which will be with us all week, and well, you can guess the results. Small, dumpy, weak windswell waves in the knee high+ range, with anything other than a straight run at the beach the exception rather than the rule.Here is that exception.Surprisingly about 15 out total on both sides, street parking available (beware the street cleaning ticket patrol!), overcast and clammy, offshore breeze and a glassy surface.The boyos were out early this morning, and were heavily into the booze by the time I saw them at 6:30 am. I walked over to say hello and noticed that Randy was looking a little out of it, as it were. Turns out that he had been arrested a couple of days earlier and since his release had been on a mission to get as wasted as humanly possible as often as possible. In pursuit of this goal he had spent the entire night sitting up drinking a bottle of Ouzo someone had giv...

Venice Non-Surf Report 05/30/08 SKF Kicking Ass
2008-06-02 19:26:00 Well - a severely sprained ankle is going to put the surf reports on hold for at least the next couple days, and perhaps longer. I did it Staurday night when I twisted my ankle playing one-on-one aginst, and almost losing to, an 11 year old kid. It's a long story, but a hole in the concrete and my ankle met and the result was a nice snap, and, combined with the taunting of the little bastard and me refusing to quit, well, I'm sure it didn't help.I then probably didn't do it any favors when I surfed the next morning even though I could barely walk. Net result was me spending about 5 hours at the Emergency Room last night and wearing an air cast today.But at least it is not broken, which I really thought for sure it was.So, even though I am at work today, I am not going to be here tomorrow as I am going to try and baby this thing as I have a surf trip to Mex planned in about 4 weeks, and if I spend all that money and can't surf, well, that would really suck.Good news is I will de...
Venice Surf Report 05/31/08 The Duality Of Man
2008-06-01 02:09:00 Well folks, it's been an interesting few days here at the Hacienda. And, inspired by an epic session at "The Secret Spot" this morning, a response to a rant by UG and several large cocktails containing more than their fair share of Absolut, well, I think I need to set some things straight.First off, yes - most people are assholes. That's why you are not friends with everyone. In fact, it's why you are friends with almost nobody; not because there is anything inherently wrong with YOU (although there probably is) but because you are only friends with people who are a lot like you, and, given the odds, the chances are few and far between that you will ever meet someone who shares your love of miniature schnauzers, the History Channel and crack cocaine. But it does, occasioanlly, happen. And - occasionally - the result is you make a friend.But most times the people you meet are insipid assholes who you could care less about, and why would it be any different if you were a cop? Hell...
Venice Surf Report 05/30/08 Dollars for Dimes
2008-05-30 17:04:00 Venice Surf Report Free Surf Report Southern CaliforniaLooks OK, but Jeff from Ridershack was getting out as I was pulling up and he said it sucked.I don't know if he was kidding or not, but even though it looks peaky and with nice conditions I did not see any long rides.I will defer to Jeff who, after all, was actually in the water, and say it blows.About 10 out total, some street parking still around and perfect conditions.Well, the boyos were out in force this morning. Here they are as I stepped onto the pier to get the surf pics.So I went out, took my pics, and headed back to my car when Christian calls me over. "Hey Matt!" he yells. I head over, certain that he is going to ask me for beer money...again. But, to my surprise, he tells me a very strange story."So guess who came over and gave me a printout of your story about me having immunity from the cops down on the boardwalk?" he asked me."Warren Buffet?""Huh? Who the hell is that?""Never mind - who was it?""The Lieutenant of...

I mean, to see myself as a Lego figure! That's incredibly cool. Still, I'm actually glad that my son is no longer playing with Legos, because it would be a little weird to have him playing with mine!"-- Karen Allen, co-star of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, discussing her toys and boy with Daniel Schweiger in the stories "Return of the Great Adventuress" in Venice magazine.

Venice Surf Report 05/29/08 This Is What We Now Own
2008-05-29 17:07:00 Wow - looks really, really good. Peaky, waist to chest high swell that is breaking up and down the beach and absolutely perfect conditions to go with it. Brilliant sunshine, light offshores, sheet glass surface; it's about as good as Venice gets at this size.4-5 out on either side, street parking still available but hey - if you gotta pay the $3 to get in the pay lot believe me, it will be worth it.What are you waiting for? Go already!OK, so as you may know, the Fed has been accepting non-liquid securities that no rational person would touch as collateral for loans consisting of U.S. Treasuries. The resason why is that banks need to use leverage to make money; if they pledge $100 worth of securities with someone they can use that to borrow $1000, for a 10 to 1 leverage ratio.And that is what has kept the economy going for a long time. But that has all changed in the last year as banks and dealers are requiring higher levels of collateral, or, to put it another way, you might be abl...
Venice Surf Report? Not Today
2008-05-28 19:39:00 Boss is in town so no surf report today, and to be honest this whole thing is getting old. I like checking it in the morning but on days like today when I can't do it I feel guilty and then I check my stats and I see that a few hundred have looked and been disappointed so I don't know....I am thinking of bailing.However, that is not what my post is about today. No, today I will tell you about a little encounter I had with Christian last night as I was finishing my walk on the beach.He and his friends were making an early appearance at their new campsite (not to be disclosed here, so tough luck, cops) and he seemed a little loopy, even for Christian."So, Christian, what have you been up to?" I asked."Oh you know, the same 'ol same 'ol. I did just eat threee hits of acid about an hour ago.""No shit? Got anymore?" I asked.After all, few things are more fun than a spur of the moment psychedelic journey into the depths of your brain cells and listening to them pop, especially when it...
Venice Hotel Crush: Albergo Guerrato
2008-05-27 18:59:00 Albergo Guerrato, pension Calle drio la Scimia 240/a San Polo, Venice Doubles € 100-140 We first fell in love with Albergo Guerrato because of its location. Just a short walk from the Rialto Bridge, it holds a coveted place in the lovely San Polo area of Venice. But, then there was the ambiance. The Guerrato is an ex-convent, whose beginnings date to the 1200s. Today, the owners seem to be decorating decidedly less ‘convent’ than ‘Dolce & Gabbana atelier’ —as our EC reviewer, Annie Shapero, said of her last visit. Rooms are fit for kings, queens, and anyone with a taste for antiques. Most rooms have oriental rugs, lavish furnishings, and beautifully carved windows. When you’ve tired of the indoor ambiance, step outside where the hipster nightlife surrounding Guerrato will keep you satiated. Read the complete review or see all budget hotel picks in Venice.
