intranet

Sebuah intranet adalah sebuah jaringan privat (private network) yang menggunakan protokol-protokol Internet (TCP/IP), untuk membagi informasi rahasia perusahaan atau operasi dalam perusahaan tersebut kepada karyawannya. Kadang-kadang, istilah intranet hanya merujuk kepada layanan yang terlihat, yakni situs web internal perusahaan. Untuk membangun sebuah intranet, maka sebuah jaringan haruslah memiliki beberapa komponen yang membangun Internet, yakni protokol Internet (Protokol TCP/IP, alamat IP, dan protokol lainnya), klien dan juga server. Protokol HTTP dan beberapa protokol Internet lainnya (FTP, POP3, atau SMTP) umumnya merupakan komponen protokol yang sering digunakan.
Umumnya, sebuah intranet dapat dipahami sebagai sebuah "versi pribadi dari jaringan Internet", atau sebagai sebuah versi dari Internet yang dimiliki oleh sebuah organisasi.

[sunting] Penggunaan

Saat ini perangkat elektronik pintar sudah merambah diseluruh aspek kehidupan contohnya di kantor, sekolah, rumah. Beberapa sekolah sudah menerapkan teknologi intranet. Seluruh komputer terhubung dengan satu jaringan lokal. Intranet sebagai pendatang baru mengandalkan biaya yang murah, fleksibilitas, open standard, dan banyaknya vendor yang bergabung dalam menigkatkan kemampuan intranet serta jaminan perkembangan teknologi yang makin meningkat kemampuannya. [1]
Intranet digunakan untuk membantu alat dan aplikasi, misalnya kolaborasi dalam kerja sama (untuk memfasilitasi bekerja dalam kelompok dan telekonferensi) atau direktori perusahaan yang sudah canggih, penjualan dan alat manajemen hubungan dengan pelanggan, manajemen proyek dll, untuk memajukan produktivitas.
Intranet juga digunakan sebagai budaya perusahaan perubahan platform. Sebagai contoh, sejumlah besar karyawan membahas isu-isu kunci dalam aplikasi forum intranet dapat menyebabkan ide-ide baru dalam manajemen, produktivitas, kualitas, dan isu-isu perusahaan lainnya.
Dalam intranet yang besar, lalu lintas situs web seringkali sama dengan lalu lintas situs Web publik dan dapat dipahami dengan lebih baik dengan menggunakan software web metrik untuk melacak aktivitas secara keseluruhan. Survei pengguna juga meningkatkan efektivitas situs intranet. Bisnis yang lebih besar memungkinkan pengguna dalam intranet mereka untuk mengakses internet publik melalui server firewall. Mereka memiliki kemampuan menangani pesan yang datang dan pergi serta menjaga keamanan yang utuh.
Ketika bagian dari intranet diakses oleh pelanggan dan lainnya di luar bisnis, menjadi bagian dari sebuah extranet. Bisnis dapat mengirim pesan pribadi melalui jaringan publik, menggunakan enkripsi khusus / dekripsi dan perlindungan keamanan lainnya untuk menghubungkan satu bagian dari intranet mereka yang lain.
Pengguna intranet yang berpengalaman, editorial, dan tim teknologi bekerja sama untuk menghasilkan website. Paling umum, intranet dikelola oleh departemen komunikasi, HR atau CIO organisasi besar, atau kombinasinya.

[sunting] Kelebihan

Kebutuhan intranet didorong oleh beberapa tekanan teknologi yaitu :
  • Intranet menjadi alat bantu untuk meningkatkan perkembangan dan pertumbuhan produk industri
  • Intranet lebih meningkatkan tanggapan terhadap keluhan dan kebutuhan pelanggannya.
  • Intranet mampu menurunkan biaya atas kebutuhan informasi kolaborasi, workflow, dan enterprise connectivity.
  • Intranet mendapat banyak keuntungan karena adanya suksesnya dukungan world wide web yang memungkinkan penggunaan yang luas karena digunakan masyarakat luas yang menggunakan internet. Caranya adalah dengan membuat website. Intranet menjadi tren saat ini karena kefleksibelan webnya yang mudah digunakan. [2]

[sunting] Manfaat untuk sekolah

Manfaat penggunaan intranet untuk sekolah:
  • Membantu dalam membuat pengajaran, pembelajaran di sekolah lebih mudah
  • Membantu dalam mengembangkan kurikulum yang akan mempersiapkan siswa untuk masa depan
  • Memberikan siswa lebih banyak informasi untuk menambahkan kurikulum pengajaran

[sunting] Internet pada saat ini

Representasi grafis dari jaringan WWW (hanya 0.0001% saja).
Internet dijaga oleh perjanjian bilateral atau multilateral dan spesifikasi teknikal (protokol yang menerangkan tentang perpindahan data antara rangkaian). Protokol-protokol ini dibentuk berdasarkan perbincangan Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), yang terbuka kepada umum. Badan ini mengeluarkan dokumen yang dikenali sebagai RFC (Request for Comments). Sebagian dari RFC dijadikan Standar Internet (Internet Standard), oleh Badan Arsitektur Internet (Internet Architecture Board - IAB). Protokol-protokol Internet yang sering digunakan adalah seperti, IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, PPP, SLIP, ICMP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, FTP, LDAP, dan SSL.
Beberapa layanan populer di Internet yang menggunakan protokol di atas, ialah email/surat elektronik, Usenet, Newsgroup, berbagi berkas (File Sharing), WWW (World Wide Web), Gopher, akses sesi (Session Access), WAIS, finger, IRC, MUD, dan MUSH. Di antara semua ini, email/surat elektronik dan World Wide Web lebih kerap digunakan, dan lebih banyak servis yang dibangun berdasarkannya, seperti milis (Mailing List) dan Weblog. Internet memungkinkan adanya servis terkini (Real-time service), seperti web radio, dan webcast, yang dapat diakses di seluruh dunia. Selain itu melalui Internet dimungkinkan untuk berkomunikasi secara langsung antara dua pengguna atau lebih melalui program pengirim pesan instan seperti Camfrog, Pidgin (Gaim), Trilian, Kopete, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger dan Windows Live Messenger.
Beberapa servis Internet populer yang berdasarkan sistem tertutup (Proprietary System), adalah seperti IRC, ICQ, AIM, CDDB, dan Gnutella.

[sunting] Budaya Internet

Jumlah pengguna Internet yang besar dan semakin berkembang, telah mewujudkan budaya Internet. Internet juga mempunyai pengaruh yang besar atas ilmu, dan pandangan dunia. Dengan hanya berpandukan mesin pencari seperti Google, pengguna di seluruh dunia mempunyai akses Internet yang mudah atas bermacam-macam informasi. Dibanding dengan buku dan perpustakaan, Internet melambangkan penyebaran(decentralization) / pengetahuan (knowledge) informasi dan data secara ekstrem.
Perkembangan Internet juga telah memengaruhi perkembangan ekonomi. Berbagai transaksi jual beli yang sebelumnya hanya bisa dilakukan dengan cara tatap muka (dan sebagian sangat kecil melalui pos atau telepon), kini sangat mudah dan sering dilakukan melalui Internet. Transaksi melalui Internet ini dikenal dengan nama e-commerce.
Terkait dengan pemerintahan, Internet juga memicu tumbuhnya transparansi pelaksanaan pemerintahan melalui e-government seperti di kabupaten Sragen yang mana ternyata berhasil memberikan peningkatan pemasukan daerah dengan memanfaatkan Internet untuk transparansi pengelolaan dana masyarakat dan pemangkasan jalur birokrasi, sehingga warga di daerah terebut sangat di untungkan demikian para pegawai negeri sipil dapat pula di tingkatkan kesejahterannya karena pemasukan daerah meningkat tajam.

[sunting] Tata tertib Internet

Sama seperti halnya sebuah komunitas, Internet juga mempunyai tata tertib tertentu, yang dikenal dengan nama Nettiquette atau dalam bahasa Indonesia dikenal dengan istilah netiket.
Untuk di Indonesia selain tata tertib sosial di Internet juga diberlakukan peraturan (UU ITE).

[sunting] Isu moral dan undang-undang

Terdapat kebimbangan masyarakat tentang Internet yang berpuncak pada beberapa bahan kontroversi di dalamnya. Pelanggaran hak cipta, pornografi, pencurian identitas, dan pernyataan kebencian (hate speech), adalah biasa dan sulit dijaga. Hingga tahun 2007, Indonesia masih belum memiliki Cyberlaw, padahal draft akademis RUU Cyberlaw sudah dibahas sejak tahun 2000 oleh Ditjen Postel dan Deperindag. UU yang masih ada kaitannya dengan teknologi informasi dan telekomunikasi adalah UU Telekomunikasi tahun 1999.
Internet juga disalahkan oleh sebagian orang karena dianggap menjadi sebab kematian. Brandon Vedas meninggal dunia akibat pemakaian narkotik yang melampaui batas dengan semangat dari teman-teman chatting IRCnya. Shawn Woolley bunuh diri karena ketagihan dengan permainan online, Everquest. Brandes ditikam bunuh, dan dimakan oleh Armin Meiwes setelah menjawab iklan dalam Internet.

[sunting] Akses Internet

Anak-anak sedang menggunakan komputer untuk mengakses Internet.
Negara dengan akses Internet yang terbaik termasuk Korea Selatan (50% daripada penduduknya mempunyai akses jalurlebar - Broadband), dan Swedia. Terdapat dua bentuk akses Internet yang umum, yaitu dial-up, dan jalurlebar. Di Indonesia, seperti negara berkembang dimana akses Internet dan penetrasi PC sudah cukup tinggi dengan didukungnya Internet murah dan netbook murah, hanya saja di Indonesia operator kurang fair dalam menentukan harga dan bahkan ada salah satu operator yang sengaja membuat "perangkap jebakan" agar pengguna Internet tersebut membayar lebih mahal. Lainnya sekitar 42% dari akses Internet melalui fasilitas Public Internet Access seperti warnet , cybercafe, hotspot dll. Tempat umum lainnya yang sering dipakai untuk akses Internet adalah di kampus dan di kantor.
Disamping menggunakan PC (Personal Computer), kita juga dapat mengakses Internet melalui Handphone (HP) menggunakan fasilitas yang disebut GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS merupakan salah satu standar komunikasi wireless (nirkabel) yang memiliki kecepatan koneksi 115 kbps dan mendukung aplikasi yang lebih luas (grafis dan multimedia). Teknologi GPRS dapat diakses yang mendukung fasilitas tersebut. Pengaturan GPRS pada ponsel tergantung dari operator yang digunakan. Biaya akses Internet dihitung melalui besarnya kapasitas (per-kilobyte) yang diunduh.

[sunting] Penggunaan Internet di tempat umum

Internet juga semakin banyak digunakan di tempat umum. Beberapa tempat umum yang menyediakan layanan Internet termasuk perpustakaan, dan Internet cafe/warnet (juga disebut Cyber Cafe). Terdapat juga tempat awam yang menyediakan pusat akses Internet, seperti Internet Kiosk, Public access Terminal, dan Telepon web.
Terdapat juga toko-toko yang menyediakan akses wi-fi, seperti Wifi-cafe. Pengguna hanya perlu membawa laptop (notebook), atau PDA, yang mempunyai kemampuan wifi untuk mendapatkan akses Internet.

Thomas Matthew "Tom" DeLonge, Jr. (born December 13, 1975) is an American rock musician. He is the guitarist and one of the two lead vocalists for the American pop punk band Blink-182 as well as the guitarist and lead vocalist for the alternative band Angels & Airwaves. He was also the guitarist and lead vocalist for the alternative band Box Car Racer.
Raised in Poway, California, DeLonge developed an interest in punk rock during his teens. After being expelled from Poway High School for drinking at a basketball game, he attended Rancho Bernardo High School where he met Anne Hoppus. Anne Hoppus introduced him to her brother, Mark Hoppus, who also shared an interest in music. Tom also introduced Mark to Scott Raynor. The three formed Blink-182, which became one of the most popular rock groups of the 1990s–2000s. Travis Barker replaced Scott in later years. The group underwent an indefinite hiatus in 2005, with DeLonge focusing more on his Angels & Airwaves project. Blink-182 reformed in 2009, and released a new album in September 2011.
DeLonge has also pursued non-musical endeavors; he created a social networking website called Modlife, as well as two clothing companies. In 2001, he started Atticus Clothing and Macbeth Footwear with Mark Hoppus. DeLonge sold his shares in Atticus Clothing, and is currently the sole owner of Macbeth Footwear.

[edit] Early life

Tom DeLonge was raised by his mother, Connie, and his father, Thomas Sr., in Poway, California. He has an older brother, Shon, and a younger sister, Kari. His first musical instrument was the trumpet, which his parents gave to him for Christmas when he was eleven.[2] DeLonge was an average student in school, saying that "I knew exactly how hard I had to work in school. As long as I got that C, I wouldn't try one minute extra to get a B. I just cared about skateboarding and music."[2] He played the guitar for the first time at his friend's house one afternoon, while listening to Bad Religion records and got his first guitar during his freshman year of high school as a 15th birthday present.[3] DeLonge spent much time trying to learn songs by Descendents.[4] One of DeLonge's first musical endeavors was Big Oily Men, a band of which he was the only constant member.[4]
Despite his early interest in music, becoming a musician was not his first calling. DeLonge originally planned to become a firefighter, and participated in the San Diego Cadet Program.[5] His parents divorced when he was eighteen, which would later become the inspiration for the Blink-182 song "Stay Together for the Kids".[6] DeLonge was kicked out of Poway High School during his junior year (1991) after being caught drunk at a school basketball game. He then attended Rancho Bernardo High School for the remainder of his high school year. The song "Dick Lips" was based on him getting kicked out of school. When he returned to Poway High School during his senior year, the students voted him Homecoming King despite the fact that he was not even on the ballot.[4] DeLonge graduated from high school in 1993.[citation needed]

[edit] Music career

[edit] Blink-182 (1992–2005; 2009–present)

Main article: Blink-182
When he began attending Rancho Bernardo High School in early 1992, he became friends with fellow student Anne Hoppus, who was also interested in punk rock. They became friends over the summer of 1992, when DeLonge expressed desire to be in a band to her. Anne introduced her brother Mark Hoppus to DeLonge in August 1992. To impress DeLonge, Hoppus climbed to the top of a streetlight outside of DeLonge's home – however, he broke both ankles on the way down, resulting in being in crutches for the next few weeks. DeLonge recruited old friend Scott Raynor from his days at Poway to become the drummer for the new band, initially named Duck Tape until DeLonge renamed the band as Blink.[4]
Blink released various demos throughout 1993 and caught the attention of local San Diego record label Cargo Music, where they signed and recorded their debut album Cheshire Cat in February 1994. The band quietly gained success in Southern California, touring throughout 1995 and 1996 in their own van.[7] The band was threatened with legal action by an Irish pop band of the same name in 1994, and, to avoid a legal dispute, the band appended "182" to the end of their name, which, according to Mark Hoppus, had no meaning and was essentially pulled from the top of their heads.[8]

The band moved to Encinitas, California in 1996, where they would record their second album Dude Ranch with producer Mark Trombino. Blink-182 recorded the album under Cargo Records, but signed with MCA in 1998 in order to handle increased distribution. The album was released in 1997 and was relatively commercially successful, selling 1.5 million copies worldwide. The single "Dammit" did well on U.S. modern rock charts, and the band received a small degree of mainstream success.[8]
Hoppus and DeLonge fired Raynor midway through a U.S. tour in 1998 after a drinking problem became far too prevalent.[9] Hoppus and DeLonge asked drummer Travis Barker of Blink-182's support band The Aquabats to fill in for Raynor for the remainder of the tour, and, after being impressed with Barker, asked him to join the band.[citation needed]

The band released their breakthrough album Enema of the State in June 1999 to commercial success, fueled by successful singles "What's My Age Again", "All the Small Things", and "Adam's Song".[8] After releasing live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) in November 2000, the band entered the studio and recorded their fourth studio album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, released in June 2001. The album continued the band's commercial success and popularity.[8]
After performing with Box Car Racer for much of 2002, DeLonge and Barker rejoined the band to record their eponymous fifth studio album, released in November 2003. The album continued the commercial success that previous albums had endured, as well as being critically acclaimed: Blink-182 represented a more "mature" band than seen in the past,[10] with the band infusing experimentalist elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side-projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants).[11]
"My biggest failure was the breakup of Blink. That was a failure of friendships, businesses and communications. In our hearts, we thought that was forever and gone. What's funny is, at the time, I looked at it as a triumph. The fact that I was able to make a decision so detrimental to myself and identify and start fresh was pretty victorious."
“
”
-DeLonge, on the break-up of Blink-182[12]
Tensions arose between the band members as DeLonge expressed his desire to cancel the tour and enter a half-year respite from touring in late 2004, and the band officially announced an "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005. DeLonge formed Angels & Airwaves while Hoppus and Barker continued playing music together in +44. In August 2008, the band's frequent producer Jerry Finn died of a cerebral hemorrhage,[13] and Barker barely survived a plane crash in September, sustaining second and third degree burns on his lower body and torso. Both events would be catalysts for the band reuniting; in 2010, DeLonge reflected, "If that accident hadn't happened, we wouldn't be a band. Plain and simple. That was fate."[14]
The band announced their reunion in February 2009 at the 51st Grammy Awards ceremony.[15] A well-received reunion tour took place in mid-2009, with a European leg performed in summer 2010. The band's sixth studio album Neighborhoodswas released on September 27, 2011 and was promoted on the 2011 Honda Civic Tour..[16]
Blink-182 is recognized as a key pioneer of contemporary pop punk music, influencing various acts over their career.[8] They released their sixth album, Neighborhoods, in September 2011.

[edit] Box Car Racer (2002–2003)

Main article: Box Car Racer
Box Car Racer was a side-project from two members of the band Blink-182, featuring guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker. DeLonge formed Box Car Racer to experiment with and record ideas he felt were not "Blink-friendly", along with Travis Barker. David Kennedy from Hazen Street completed the group and a self-titled album was recorded, which debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200. Although Tom handled bass duties, the band hired Kennedy's friend Anthony Celestino for the corresponding tour. Guests on the album included Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 on the song "Elevator", and Tim Armstrong from Rancid. Tim Armstrong did vocals with Tom in the song "Cat Like Thief". Box Car Racer disbanded in 2003 after DeLonge and Barker went back to the studio with Mark Hoppus to start recording of their new album Blink-182.[17]

[edit] Angels & Airwaves (2005–present)

Main articles: Angels & Airwaves and Angels & Airwaves discography
Tom DeLonge is the lead vocalist and lead guitarist for Angels & Airwaves, often stylized as AVA (Named after his daughter, Ava). Other members in the band include high school friend, former Hazen Street guitarist, and Box Car Racer guitarist David Kennedy; on drums former Rocket from the Crypt and The Offspring drummer Atom Willard; and on bass former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. AVA is influenced by a number of bands including U2, Pink Floyd, and The Cure. They released their debut album We Don't Need to Whisper on May 20, 2006. On April 23, 2007, it was announced that Ryan Sinn would not be playing at the free Earth Day concert at the M.I.T. campus due to difficulties within the band. He was later replaced with former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. The band's second full-length album entitled I-Empire debuted on the Billboard 200 Chart at No. 9 and sold 66,000 copies in its first week.[citation needed]
Love is the third studio album by Angels & Airwaves, which was officially released for free worldwide on February 14, 2010 after being delayed on Christmas 2009. The album was downloaded over 500,000 times in the first 48 hours of its release.[citation needed]
The band produced a full-length film also entitled Love written and directed by William Eubank. The film premiered on February 2, 2011 at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Delonge had previously stated on Modlife that there might be a Fall 2011 release date of the film at The Sundance Film Festival.[citation needed] Tom confirmed during the live interview following Love that they are releasing a new album on 11.11.11 (November 11, 2011).
Delonge has confirmed that a second studio album in the Love project along with the Love film are set for release in November 2011.[18] He has also revealed that the upcoming studio album will be titled Love II and will include 45 minutes of extra music. On April 9, 2011, Tom has confirmed via Modcam that Love II will be released on November 11, 2011.[citation needed]

[edit] Musical equipment

DeLonge performing in 2004 with his standard Gibson Tom DeLonge Signature ES-333 guitar.
Fender Guitars worked with DeLonge to create the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster (signature guitar) which consisted of a solid alder body fitted with a single Seymour Duncan Invader Bridge pickup. It was controlled by a lone volume knob adding to its simple design. At first, the Stratocasters were fitted with an American 2-Point tremolo system and was later replaced by a hardtail bridge. Its neck was made of solid maple with a rosewood fretboard, although there have been some custom Stratocasters that were fitted with maple fretboards. The necks included a large 1970s "CBS" headstock.[citation needed]
In 2002, whilst touring with Box Car Racer, Tom began collaborating with Gibson to create a new Signature Model. He started off by using a standard Gibson ES-335, with all but the bridge volume knob removed, and the bridge pick-up replaced with a Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pick-up. This guitar was eventually covered with many different stickers including band stickers and clothing line stickers from Atticus Clothing, Macbeth Footwear and Famous Stars and Straps. This guitar can be seen in Box Car Racer live photos and in the studio videos for the Untitled Album. In one of the videos, a prototype for his signature is seen that included an orange stripe instead of cream with a matching orange headstock and a metal volume knob. In 2003, Gibson released his signature model, the Tom DeLonge Signature ES-333, which has only been available since its release in Brown and Cream, with a Natural neck and headstock. Along with his Gibson signature, Tom also used a Fender Jagmaster baritone with single humbucker live, as seen in AOL live sessions with the song "Obvious". The Tom DeLonge Signature starts with Gibson's classic semi-hollow body design and then extends it into punk rock with an overwound 'Dirty Fingers' humbucking pickup. Its thick, distorted tone is the signature sound of DeLonge's band Blink-182.[19] On Angels & Airwaves albums, We Don't Need to Whisper and I-Empire Tom has used his signature Gibson ES-333 for all of his live shows. However, he has a number of touring guitars, which he has had made in a few different color combinations, including matte black with a black racing stripe, natural with a black racing stripe and white with a black racing stripe. Since the Blink-182 reunion, he has been seen using his original brown and cream guitar (which now has a Blink-182 'smiley logo' spray-painted onto the body), his natural and black guitar (which has now been abused with burns, scrapes, and stickers), and a new black and white guitar(made by Baratto), which is a custom Baritone version of his standard signature guitar, made for playing the song "Obvious" and other down-stepped songs. Epiphone has since come out with a lower cost version of the Tom DeLonge signature guitar, manufactured overseas, but fitted with the same Dirty Fingers humbucker.[citation needed]
From very early on in Blink's career, Tom had used a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier amp head and a Marshall JCM 900 amp head along with Mesa Boogie and Marshall cabs for live shows. As his career progressed, Tom began using an intricate rack system along with three matching 4x12 and three 2x12 Mesa Boogie cabs. The rack system still made use of the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier amp head, but it also included a Mesa Boogie 2:90 power amp and Triaxis preamp, Marshall EL34 power amp and JMP-1 preamp and a Voodoo Labs GCX Audio Switcher, all controlled via a Custom Audio Electronics midi footswitch (The rack discontinued the use of the Marshall JCM 900 amp head). The rack system also included a Furman power conditioner and Shure wireless unit.[citation needed]
For Angels and Airwaves, Tom made use of the same rack system minus the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier but also included a TC Electronic G-Force effects unit as well as two Palmer PGA-04 amp simulators (one for the Triaxis preamp and one for the JMP-1 preamp).[citation needed]
For Blink-182, Tom now uses two Fender '65 Twin Reverb Amps for clean and two VOX AC30H2 Amps for distortion.[citation needed]
Tom has started using a synth and oscillator rig for live shows, during the Angels and Airwaves LOVE Tour. His synth rig, along with his guitar effects rig, is now built into a custom tower rack system, which stands by him on stage. Tom also now uses this same system for Blink-182, and plays/samples most of the synths and effects for their songs live.[citation needed]
His vocal setup consists of blue mics – he used the blue kiwi on every album before 'Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'. Now he uses a blue bottle mic running into a Pro Tools set up, where he uses sound toys plugins. His vocals are heavily compressed with a LA-2A compressor, then run through a TC helicon. He runs his sound through Orange amplifiers and records with a snare drum in the room.[citation needed]

[edit] Personal life

Tom DeLonge in 2008
Tom DeLonge married Jennifer Jenkins on May 26, 2001 at Coronado Island in the San Diego Bay.[20] The band Jimmy Eat World performed at the reception, and DeLonge gave each of the groomsmen, including Mark Hoppus, silver yo-yos from Tiffany & Co.[20] The couple have been friends since high school and began dating in 1996.[21]
He currently lives with his wife Jennifer, daughter Ava Elizabeth (born July 15, 2002) and son Jonas Rocket (born on August 16, 2006), German Shepherd Grey, Labrador Retriever Chloe, and he recently got a new puppy as posted on the Angels And Airwaves Facebook page. He currently resides in Rancho Sante Fe, California. In January 2006, his wife launched a line of high-end children's furniture, whose pieces are available at stores such as Barneys New York, Bellini and F.A.O. Schwarz.[21][22] DeLonge is a freemason and frequently sports the Mason logo on his guitar and amplifier during performances.

[edit] Non-musical endeavors

Tom directed the music video for Taking Back Sunday's song "This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)" in 2004.[23] Tom made a cameo appearance as the Burger Jungle drive thru clerk in the movie Idle Hands. Blink-182 is featured in the music documentaries: Riding in Vans with Boys, The Urethra Chronicles, The Urethra Chronicles II: Harder Faster Faster Harder, and upcoming film The Blinkumentary. Tom also made a cameo appearance in the blockbuster film American Pie with his fellow bandmates in Blink-182, acting in a scene while one of their songs, "Mutt", played in the background. Tom made a cameo appearance in The Simpsons with fellow bandmates, while "All The Small Things" played in the background.
Tom has created his own website called Modlife; the site allows bands and their fans to meet up and interact with each other. The artists can also choose whether to have paid subscriptions for certain items. In 2001, DeLonge started Atticus Clothing and Macbeth Footwear with fellow Blink-182 band member Mark Hoppus. However, after Hoppus sold his shares in both companies after the hiatus of Blink-182, Tom sold his shares in Atticus Clothing and is currently the sole owner of Macbeth Footwear. Macbeth Footwear has a separate line with vegan shoes.
In 2011, DeLonge helped launch two new entities. The first was called "Strange Times"—a website dedicated to highlighting reports of UFO activity and the latest news in theories.[24] Also in 2011, and after being diagnosed and receiving treatment for his own cancer, DeLonge formed a breast cancer awareness foundation called "Boomer Loves Boobies" that helps raise funds for the Keep A Breast Foundation. The title of this foundation was derived from the character he played in Blink-182's "First Date" music video.[25]
