i’m back and moving soon

I know, really, I do. I haven’t posted a “daily pic” in a while. Well, I’ll get back in the habit.

I have some big news. My main profession is changing from Computer Programmer to Audio Technician or Engineer or something like that. Here’s the story … I’ll try to keep it brief. I spent two weeks working with a friend of my dad’s at camp meeting setting up and running audio. Well, he figured out that he needed someone to work with eventually and we work well together, thus a tentative, “let’s think about this” attitude. A couple months down the road we start thinking it might work in January. In November I help him with a Christopher Cross benefit concert and we start looking at the details. Details get worked out and everything looks good and I gave notice at work last week. I’ve been slowly heading down this path for a long time and I’m rather surprised that it worked out like this. I’ve been playing with audio stuff since I was little and helping my dad setup and tear-down the equipment for school programs. I ran audio in the Earliteen’s tent at camp meeting for 3 summers. Next, I did a brief stint in high school running a very low-power radio station and didn’t really do anything else until I came home two years ago. I got involved with church audio and school programs again, but as the one knowing the most about the equipment. Somehow I got involved with Don’t Call Us Tori and have run backup engineer and ran one show. That leads up to what I already explained and here I am, ready to embark on a whole new adventure. It’s actually kinda hard to stay at my current job till the end of the month because of the excitement of the next.

Well, my recent addictions that have grabbed my time are:

• Sliders – a fun sci-fi TV series based around “sliding” between alternate earths

• The many podcasts I subscribe to

• The Shadow – old time radio theater serial, lots of fun

• Sleep – wish I didn’t have to do it

Oh, because of the new job, I’ll be moving up near Yosemite’s south entrance. Not quite sure what town I’ll be in, but it’s beautiful up there. I’ve always been more of a mountain person than a beach person … wait, who am I kidding. I don’t care as long as I’m comfortable and have internet, electricity, and my laptop.

cheers!
