I lost a friend today.
Well after 24 years in the family I had to say goodbye. The 1985 Buick that my Dad purchased in Ohio was donated and taken away. My Dad sold it to my Bro who then sold it to me where I used it till when driving back from NAB in Vegas the engine decided to make some extra noises. I suspect a ring is gone and considering the age of the vehicle it did ( Read more... ) -
FurCon is behind us now
I think I have recovered from FC2009. It is kind of sad in a way knowing it was the last year at the Double Tree. Yes there are some issues but having a known quantity vs. an unknown one means that next year is a big unknown. It may be better but we will see. I am hoping FCTV will continue because many folks at the con watch the major events via ( Read more... ) -
Back home again
Just returned from a quick two day trip to Salt Lake City where I attended a class for mobile satellite training. This will allow me to install their mobile satellite platform. This fully automated dish automatically seeks, locates and locks on to the satellite in just minutes allowing for quick deployment in almost any situation one can think of. ( Read more... ) -

Cine Gear was Great! but really hot
This year Cine Gear was at Universal Studios back lot. The location was really nice but the bus transportation sucked. Long waits for the buses. Also security here used metal detectors which created another delay. The show was a lot of fun with the most popular locations being the ones that had air conditioners. There are these really neat portable ( Read more... ) -
Back home form the other side of the country
Well I am back in the bay area now. Saw my old college room mate and spent some time there visiting and fixing up his computers and home network. Had a good time and it was great to see an old buddy again. Visited my sister and by the time I left is was so late in the week that I had to drive back home with very little sleep. Made it back here by ( Read more... ) -
My East Coast Trip
Last week I left for the Dish Dealer show called Team Summit. I had a big delay leaving as moving out of my old rental house took way longer than I had ever imagined it would. I ended up turning in the keys on Monday the 12th and leaving for Nashville on the 13th. I had to be there by the 14th so I did not have time to sleep and drive straight ( Read more... ) -
Back from Las Vegas
Well it is over. I haven't had that much exercise in a long time. By the last day my legs were doing much better. Well there was a lot of new stuff at the Sony booth. In HDV land there was the V7U camera with detachable lenses. The cam will take JVC 1/3" type lenses. It also comes with a compact flash recording module. There was an on the shoulder ( Read more... ) -
Off to Vegas on Thursday
I will be off to Las Vegas to attend this years NAB show. I am particularly interested in what Sony will be showing in regard to their new XDCAM HD 422 camera. They are supposed to announce that it will be available later this year however this model will not do 24p. The 24p model is expected out perhaps next year or the year after that. I am ( Read more... )
