I do a decent amount of corporate work as a lighting designer. I very much enjoy being able to bring art and design to a corporate function, and I also enjoy being able to play with moving lights and make pretty stuff. I mean, who doesn't?This last show I finished here in Phoenix is different though - I have to say that they were the most amazing, kind, and passionate group of people I've had the pleasure of lighting in quite some time. You see, this conference was about nurses and doctors who deal with patient wounds, and making sure ... Read More»

If you've ever been on either side of this in any capacity, you will chuckle, perhaps giggle. I did! Enjoy your Saturday, kids!

I get a metric ton of emails from LED manufacturing companies located all over the world. You know the ones - if you've ever done a search on Google for "lighting" or entered your email address into a subscription list, you've probably gotten spammed with something like this: Dear Sir:It has been long time for communication with you. at the beginning of 2010, we have launched some new led bulb and lightings.You can visit our website to download our 2010 catalogue, If you want to download, please contact me to get the account to download the files.

Will It Blend? THAT is the Question!
I have something that I hope will start your Friday out on a high note.If you've never heard of a Blendtec blender, it's a possibility that you've not seen the Cadillac of blenders before. You know your little Sunbeam blender or other midstream name brand blender? Yeah, I don't think it can take a handful of marbles and turn it into marble dust. The Blendtec can. Their blender is so BA that they made a website, Will It Blend, where they just grind stuff up in their blender.Since it's Friday morning and you're probably not on your eleventeenth cup of ...

I just found a video of a really kitchy and pretty funny xmas lighting display - I just wonder what the control systems for these crazy installs are! Do you think this is DIY, arduino controlled?

What?Have you ever had a volunteer come to your door with a free compact fluorescent lamp? When my wife and I lived in Oklahoma City, a community program volunteer brought a free compact fluorescent lamp to our house for us to have and use in order to save energy. How nice, right? We thought so. A public utility, FirstEnergy in Ohio, set up a program (that was approved by the Ohio Public Utilities Commission, by the way) that distributes compact fluorescent lamps to customers in Ohio.Cool program, right? Free fluorescent lamps for all. Except they're not free - FirstEnergy will ... Read More»
