geek talk

follow up to the post about the fcc vote on tuesday-they voted. that’s about all. seems like they pushed everything else back. shure has a press release, as well as prosound news. looks like if you have anything in the 700mhz band, it’s still not going to work at some point.

another note-shure has a cool new feature to their site called the “mic listening lab.” it’s pretty interesting stuff. i’ve wasted a couple of hours on it already.

cnn’s hologram

in case you avoided cnn like the plague last night, as i did, you missed something else historic. (for the record, cnn’s production is on a step above everybody else) cnn beamed one of their correspondents from chicago into the cnn election headquarters in new york. see for yourself, and hear a little about how it was done:

call me crazy, but i see this as another tool for video venues in churches. different lighting fixtures like the dml 1200 or the dl 3 (both from high end systems) would have the possibility to project such an image to a crowd, making it easier than actual projectors. i’m playing a guessing game, because this technology is so new. but i think it would make the video venue idea even more real.

thoughts?

voting day

i voted. 2 weeks ago. was going to vote by mail, ended up being in town and voted early. got a cool sticker too.

today is also when the fcc votes on the white spaces issue. that determines a lot in the pro audio industry, and may determine whether your wireless microphones will work next year.

if you get tired of news coverage today, check out what the people are saying on twitter.

needless to say, today holds a lot of uncertainty for the future. check out what mark driscoll has to say about all this hoo-ha.

cheers
