monitors

I sit in the stiff, vinyl-back chair in the waiting room, playing with the baby to keep him from fussing. Ten feet away is the door to an army of machines that keep lungs breathing, hearts beating, lives waiting. There are probably 20 bodies back there, fates unknown, but I am only concerned about one.

Maybe you're bummed there's no Tape Op Con this year. Or maybe you don't care about Tape Op Con. Either way, if you're a recordist, you might want to check out Mix Nashville, a mini-conference about recording, studio techniques and all that good stuff.

I just noticed that last post was post number one thousand since I started hosting my own blog. That’s a thousand posts since December 2006 - averaging more than fifty posts a month. Not too bad.

If anyone's interested, here's a Windows screen saver with some of my photos that have appeared at KnoxViews. There's also a standalone executable slide show. The photos are formatted for full size display on most monitors. Both files are in ZIP archives. They are large, approx. 43MB each. (Sorry, Windows only. I don't have any way to make one for Macs.)
