Hello Again...
Hello everyone! Long time, No blog.
Maybe you were a reader of my blog during 2006 and 2007? Well – if you were you probably noticed it fall apart after LDI 2007. I cracked under the pressure!
But we have re-worked our approach now and I am glad to be taking part in a new blog format. BTW - if you subscribed to email updates of my old Blog - you need to subscribe again to this one.
What’s on my mind? Well – I am watching our company mobilize heavily for Light Fair at the end of the month. This will be a big show– YES there will be new products (more on that prior to the show) – and it is a big effort here at ETC. Joe Bokelman and Bryan Palmer are only seen moving from place to place – very little down time. We have a trade show booth build going on in the wood shop, first run products being built for the show, beta product being installed to run the lighting in our offices at ETC, brochures in development, and web features being built.
A lot goes in to launching a product and it is bringing out the craziness in some of us. Fred was spotted installing a video camera to monitor the coffee pots in the kitchen near finance. Why? He is completely fed up with people draining the coffee and not making more! He is so fed up that he installed a video monitor and camera to remind you that you are being watched! Is this even legal?
I know this seems crazy. That's because we are a little crazy.
This most disturbing thing about the coffee cam is the images that it has captured.
You cannot believe what people are doing to the coffee each day.
Pretty hi-res stills off that camera huh?
Clearly, the coffee cam is affecting productivity at ETC.
So – come and see us at LightFair. And if you can’t make it watch it all unfold here on the blog and our site. We will do our best to keep you updated.
I’m glad to be back talking to you again. I hope it will be a conversation – and I am interested in what you want me to write about. So please chime in and make some suggestions.
