Big Laser Clock
I spent Saturday evening with Bob Bowers, a relative of Jim Bowers, who created the "1 Mile Clock" for Burning Man. | | Friday, May 11th, 2012 | | 8:26 pm |
fertility 2.0
I just secured my ticket to The Burn this year. Tickets are scarce at any price after the big "lottery" in January backfired and all the tickets sold out in hours, presumably to scalpers. To get this I'm an Airport TAC radio volunteer, so fly in if you can... http://burningman.com/ David Best from Petaluma returns as the Temple architect this year, this is the "Temple of Juno" concept drawing;  | | Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 | | 11:34 pm |
tuneinradio.com
now searchable at tunein radio .  On this webpage or search for 'hole in the wall saloon' in the tunein radio app on your iPhone, iPad or Android. You have to add 'saloon'. 'hole in the wall' without the 'saloon' on tunein gets you a christian ministry sermon. Not sure why the 'hole in the wall' evangelical ministry is called that. No pool table or Bunny the tranny. Or to hear the music playing at hole right now, the direct link to the stream is here. | | 2:26 am |

Plymouth Prowler
About 200 Plymouth Prowlers are coming to a club meeting in Las Vegas starting May 11.
I happened on this gentelman at the Love's just north of town on I-15. He just drove his 2001 from Indiana.

Las Vegas Downtown is perhaps the penultimate definition of 'tourist dirty' as seen
in these snapshots. Charlie, who is busy with Studio Instrument Rental there was visiting
one of his favorite old casinos, the Golden Gate. I checked out Drag & Drink and Drop Quarters, the classic video game bar next to the El Cortez. I snapped these of Fremont Street.

zzyzx
If you've ever driven toward Las Vegas from the Southland, you've passed the "ZZYZX" exit seven miles south of Baker. 5 miles off the Interstate is the site of the current CSU Desert Studies Center, originally built to be radio preacher Curtis Springer's Zzyzx Mineral Springs Health Resort in 1944. Curtis picked the name claiming it to be the last word in the English language. There are two movies in the IMDB database shot there, one an indie slasher horror film the other, curiously titled "Zyzzyz Rd", with an extra 'Y' is a drama thriller love story. Both were shot in 2006. Brent was attending a seminar being held there on this April 21st weekend, I stopped by and these photos of Zzyzx just after lunch at the Mad Greek, escaping the "Baker to Vegas" mob on Saturday.  | | Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 | | 1:44 pm |
National Association of Baboons
It's the last full day today of NAB in L.V. Lots of debuts this year, two impressive demos of Glasses Free 3D TV, the RED Digital 3D Projector, a wacky Blackmagic Design camera that looks like an old Kodak Instant boxy camera and the Teranex real time 3D processing upconversion. Dinner last night with GregO and Bobo who are busy with the Optimod TV that is CALM-ing and has Penteo Surround upmixing from 2.0 to 5.1 built in. Tom from Tuscon and Brent from Apple V. are here right now, have to get back to the floor, pix so far are HERE. | | Friday, April 13th, 2012 | | 7:52 pm |

las vegas tourist dirty
Charlie is running S.I.R. Las Vegas. I'm with Charlie here for the midnight Freemont "Doors" thing on the canopy, amid the decidedly people of walmart Country Music Awards event that S.I.R. was servicing at the 1st Street Stage on the Fremont Street Experience. Yipes. | | Monday, March 26th, 2012 | | 2:49 pm |

Snow Melt
Here I am at 8000 feet on Saxon Peak above Ely, NV. The snow is melting. The job is to replace a driver amp for a 1,250 watt Digital VHF TV station on channel 3. It's back on and running like it has for the last three and a half years, digital transition and all... Drove up Friday in a Hertz Mitsu Eclipse, still a bit too brisk for top down on the open highway, except for a little bit, of course. Here's the City of Ely as viewed from the tower;   | | Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 | | 12:12 am |
