A day in the life of Benny Dacks

October 20, 2009

I’d like to give our fans a quick insight into what it’s like to follow me around for a day.

I recently revived this Apple iBook with a dirty hack that I like to call the Hackintosh – HotWire Edition. The power button was broken when I received it. It’s previous owner had broken the plug for the power button clean off the motherboard. This left two insanely close, bare contacts. Here are a few shots of the process.

Here is the 'new' one and my old iBook G3 it's replacing.

Here is a time-lapse video of the new Hackintosh:HWE in action!

After a long day of ripping apart laptops and eating soup, I’ll head to our studio to lay down some bass. We have some really cool gear at our disposal.

I love this amp. It belongs to our rehearsal studio.
