Hi! My name is John. This blog is a composition of my past and current work in all things technical.

Passed the CTS-D this year @InfoComm 2017! It is an honor to join a growing list of ANSI certified designers!

Always a pleasure to see a discrete AV system in full use. Truly an honor.

Panasonic PT-DZ870 3-chip DLP going to work in Schwartz Auditorium from a lift. Big fan of PT-RZ12K or lower budget PT-RZ970 at this point.

My girlfriend and I have been together a long time. No matter how many years have passed, she still makes this face when she plays against me. HAHA!

Ah yes. The holidays have arrived. Artificial fires and all! Happy Holidays!

Upgraded AV System for BOLLI: Brandeis Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. I am really please with the way this one turned out. The control system is great, all 4 microphones plus AUX mic sounds great. Pendant speakers are a huge implement. Sony 6000 3LCD laser projector looks great, new Listen Tech IR-based system works well, and infrastructure was added to run the main room to all four adjacent rooms as overflow for their huge events. Equipment purchased by LTS and labor donated by MTS. This is a good one.

A sad day. This commercial grade Samsung had been in a storage closet for quite a while. We put it on this stand and found this upon power-up...

Gardner-Jackson Rm in Goldfarb Library: It has been a very long time since I have posted anything. I am very sorry, but it has been so busy. Here is my latest installation. Sony 5000 lumen laser projector, Extron IN1608 with custom control program and GUI. All new equipment apart from the PC soon to be replaced. I worked with contractors to have the ceiling replaced, walls painted, and lighting zoned for AV. Enjoy the pictures as well!

Growing up, this little guy inspired much of the love I have for technology today. There may have been a human driving him during production, but as I kid I did not know that, and it drove my interest to learn how everything works. Hence a tinkerer and disassembler was born. Thank you, R2D2!
