A bit on Networking - and byting off more than I can chew

Let me first say that my prior post on Dan's Rose Colored glasses was all in good fun and the name was entirely inspired by the coloration of the photo in which he appeared. Dan commented that he had a better photo for me. Notice that he has taken

LDI - over

I traveled home on Monday and had the pleasure of saying farewell to the Las Vegas Airport. It was about as much fun as arriving there. I am always fond of saying that, "LDI is only 3 days in the year." Usually, I utter this to someone saying,

Does Dan Antonuk see the ACN networked world through rose colored glasses?

Or - do I see Dan through Rose colored glasses? This just in - ACN is now a official ANSII standard! Does Dan look happy? (Dan is the ESTA Standards committee project manager for ACN and a dedicated proponent of the technology.)Dan has really worked hard

Dr. DMX surrenders

I captured the real Dr. DMX today. Doug Fleenor finally succumbed to my chase of him. He surrendered peacefully , hands raised to show he had no digital weaponry. As I apprehended the suspect - Ken Wagner forced me to see demos of all the latest Fleenor

The Audience is listening

The key to a good console demo -- INTENSITY -- or at least you would think that was the key -- watching the hundreds of console demos going on at the ETC booth this weekend. Micah Rahn of ETC New York appears to have his audience completely engaged -

Another busy day at LDI - lots of fun

I feel the most innovative use of a lighting product was in the BCI booth. Rob Baxter and Brian Cheevers were showing the PAR - B - Q. Four Source Four Pars cooking meat on a spit! The meal was served up by about 1pm. These guys are innovators in everything

More on Dr. DMX - or his stand in

I keep running in to him - but never in the flesh. Saw him from the front and then began running into him from behind. Then came the final Straw. I guess even the Dr. has to take a potty break. Bound and determined to find the real Dr. DMX tomorrow! Davi

The Show is Open!

The floor at LDI has been open about 45 minutes and the feeling around the ETC stand is great. Each Eos console has about 2 simultaneous demos going on! The new booth is working great - literally packed full of people. Congo jr is also drawing a big crowd

LDI Preshow - Day 2

The show floor is still a huge mess at 8pm Thursday night. It is amazing that it will look very complete by 8am Friday morning - but it usually happens that way. Let me first report that my friends at Barbizon were able to resolve their union troubles

Truth in advertising

The LDI Preshow Game part1

I arrived in Las Vegas today. My advice, relax when you get off the plane. Stop and eat, use the bathrooom, shop. Take your time. When you arrive at baggage claim - stand back. I saw a guy take out 2 people diving for his bag! He just couldn't stand

Hello and welcome -- also featuring house rules

This is not really my brain, just things I think about and things I want to talk about. I hope you will talk to me about these things. I plan to capture my random rambling thoughts on lighting and the lighting industry. You can read for free - you'll
