It’s always nice to share some of the beautiful work submitted to the JOL Flickr Group — lately it’s been one of my favorite posts to write because it’s not about someone prancing into a night club and gunning several dozen people down, or some truss structure falling, or the like.  The shit has been […]

Lots of people have been setting up their own home-based security systems lately, especially with all of the complete lack of human respect that we’ve been seeing on the streets of America, in cities all across our great nation. When I lived here in Oklahoma City once before, a group of unsupervised neighborhood kids knifed two […]

So I’m minding my own business looking at news about Bernie endorsing Hillary, and BOOM — a photo comes across my screen of Paris at night, photographed from the International Space Station.  Check this out: From the ISS page on this photo: Around local midnight time on April 8, 2015, astronauts aboard the International Space […]

I’m sure by now everyone has seen some flavor or cut of this video…  this is the one where Marilyn Manson is out at front-of-house slapping around faders and punching flat screen monitors.  You’ve seen this, I assume? If you’ve seen Marilyn Manson live before, you know his shows are kind of intense.  I mean, […]

This last week has been kinda crazy with the artists doing stuff to production that we’d all prefer they not do — like Marilyn Manson getting all jiggy at FOH with his crew. Here’s another great example of something that could have been a lot easier to do than destroy a piece of gear — […]

A few weeks ago in the Sand Canyon/San Clarita Valley, south of Los Angeles, a wildfire pretty much gutted the valley — homes destroyed, property, vehicles, just pure havoc. This was quite an unfortunate fire; there are a very intriguing set of photographs of this fire, shot by David McNew of Getty Images.  I think […]

Nature is a serious lady.  This is a bummer of a story, but it shows the power that Mother Nature harnesses with respect to light, in this case in the form of lightning. Last Friday (26 August 2016) in a large thunderstorm system in a private game reserve in Norway, an estimated 323 reindeer were […]

Five people killed in a shooting at Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, Mexico, fifteen hospitalized with various injuries.  This is the 2017 BPM Music Festival. Authorities are not calling this a terrorist attack.  What that means to Americans is that this doesn’t seem to be racially or politically motivated. Isn’t any attack on people who weren’t […]

Hiya, world.  Considering the amount of times I’ve been in ATL this year, I can see it’s gonna be a busy one for all of us. It’s been a crazy fall and an even more insane beginning of 2017.  If I’ve seen you at a show or a training or a tour stop or something […]

I’ve worked on both sides of the equation with respect to the manufacturer/user balance, and the question of which five things a fixture could improve upon ALWAYS comes up — I always love the discussion because everyone wants something different.   It’s honestly sometimes a special little hell from a product development standpoint, because usually, […]

Well, we’ve all been wondering who was sniffing, now we know — BARCO is in talks with Electronic Theatre Controls (yes, THAT ETC) about putting High End Systems somewhere within the ETC line.  It’s not a secret that the Revolution didn’t quite hit the rental market like they liked (although it is a fine moving […]

Arts cuts.  Organizations in our purview are commenting on President Trump’s proposed cuts to National Arts funding.  Just having returned from USITT this week, I was surprised to hear conversations for and against his cuts to the artistic health of the United States.  If we’ve got no arts, what is any of this worth? From […]

Lighting designers and video content people, heads up.  An amazing trove of over 750 films from the late 50’s and early 60’s have just been declassified, and scientists have put these old nuclear test films, many of them nitrate films disintegrating from sheer age, up on Youtube. Recently, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has released […]

2017 has already been stupid busy for the lighting industries.  There are more than a handfuls of deals going on right now that I know about, and I’m sure another two handfuls after that I don’t know.  Business is moving upwards in this Trumpian economy for some reason.  Seriously, look at the gentle climb under […]
