Over at G+, Zack Allen asked for some details on my 2.4GHz antenna scheme. Here you go, Zack!

How one woman ran the background extras — at least part of her strategy — documented.

Look forward to AFTRA’s panel for background extras that’s in the works.

TMI? If you’re not a complete geek, yeah, LOL.

A video from my colleague & friend Paul Pouthier (who got the solution from mutual friend / colleague Tom Varga), in answer to my question as to how the heck he did this. This simple solution is what I like to call ‘elegant’.

Thanks, Paul. Thanks, Tom.

Following a year-long, light-by-light upgrade, here’s evidence that the cart lighting project is now complete.

I am exceedingly happy with the result, and actually look forward to the 4 or five nights and splits scheduled in the next weeks. If that anticipation is all the research, products that missed the boat, drilled holes, new tools, etc. produce, then the project was a screaming success.

Google ‘Remote Audio Nitelite’ or ‘Rosco LitePad’ for your own 12V DC light options. Too tired to find and copy the links here. Work for it

Keeping track of the stuff is — if not half — a great lot of the battle.

Presumably, this lovely stencil — made for me by an esteemed colleague in exchange for the materials — will help keep better track of the sound blankets. Thanks, Amber!

P.S. This is the stuff used for top-notch stencils, by the way:

Because I’ve eliminated a 6U rack since having the cart bags made, only one will fit, I’m re-thinking what to do with the other one.

With this kind of snap, I can snap the second bag to the case frame or to the arm of my chair:

This is what I’m up to today: installing the snaps on the two canvas cart bags I had made up in exchange for warehouse storage of some furniture.

The woman who made this came over twice before sewing these magnificent devices, and neither time did she take any measurements. I was a little bit worried as I offered her paper and pencil and she declined. As it turns out, she’s got a darned-good eye.

More when the snaps are installed.

Beyond the nose hole, bolt and bungee, added a loop of rope at the top handle, to which the bungee can attach.

Now the cart’s capable of rocking and rolling in the way I need it to rock and roll.
