At long last, I have ditched my trusty Palm 755p in favor of an Android phone. I got the HTC Evo and it thoroughly rocks. I suppose I could draw the inevitable conclusions to the iPhone, but I’ll refrain. I’m a big fan of the “the right tool for the right job” and “stick with [...] So the little compass/clock in the center console of my truck stopped working. Fuse? Lamp? Neither. A cold solder joint from Toyota. I searched around and found numerous threads on the subject and all were conclusive: remove the console with one screw, resolder two resistors (whether they look like [...] http://gizmodo.com/5476617/apidis-automated-film-crew-could-produce-the-perfect-sports-coverage Bookmark It I recently had the pleasure of doing projection design for Gustav Holst’s The Planets. The Butler Symphony Orchestra had it scheduled for a while and the conductor, Richard Auldon Clark, and I sort of joked about doing “some projection”.

The video card would not get recognized by the motherboard, the RAM displaced one slot, so [...] We have entered the 21st century and bought a video camera. It is actually our Christmas present to each other, but the reason is simplicity. We had a camcorder that we bought before Olivia was born, so it’s a bit outdated. Plus- digitizing all the tapes is a pain. It’s a surprisingly common problem. The [...] Oy! It’s that time of year again. Nutcracker is in full swing at the theatre. I have to say- before I came to work here, I wasn’t much of a Nutcracker fan….but the Butler Ballet does a pretty maxed out job. The set and a lot of the props and such are from the Ruth [...] Monday morning and I am doing what thousands of technicians all over the world are doing. I’ve added an embed of my webcam at work. I know….who or why would anyone want to watch me at work? Is my work that exciting? No. It’s just an experiment to play with live streaming which is something we’re looking in to at the Hall. I hooked up a small security [...] |
