Before I go any further, I have to give credit where credit is due. This post was inspired by a conversation I had with Anthony Coppedge on the way back home from WFX. We were sitting at the airport discussing the messes churches often find themselves in with regard to their AV installs. He said [...]

More Stuff Seen on the Show Floor
On the third and final day of WFX, I spent almost the entire day on the show floor. We’re getting ready to upgrade a lot of equipment at Coast, so I needed to get some hands-on time with as much gear as I could. Here are a few things I saw that impressed me.

WFX, Here We Come!
This morning, my associate TD, Gary, and I (though I often refer to him as the Assistant to the Technical Director–just for fun) will be heading east to Charlotte, NC to attend WFX. I was able to go last year, and had a great time. It was fun being able to hang out with Colin [...]
A Few Great Resources
First off, I want to say I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support regarding my upcoming transition off the Upper Room staff. This is an amazing online community, and I am very thankful for the e-mails, tweets and leads for new positions. I am encouraged and confident we will have a new direction soon. [...]

Twitter Helps My Prayer Life
I know I should pray more, but honestly, I’m really busy and have hundreds of things swirling around my head at any given moment. That makes it tough to “pray without ceasing.” However, Twitter helps me with this. A [...]

A few weeks ago Anthony Coppedge released an e-book entitled Why Your Church Must Twitter. That book and a few events in recent days got me thinking about why I Twitter–and by extension, why you should, too.
First, one has to ask, “Why don’t people Twitter?” I think the reason lies in how it’s explained. The [...]
Exciting News from Roland Systems
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that the RSS V-Mixing system is on my very short list for a new digital mixer when Upper Room relocates in a few weeks. I have been holding off on making a final decision pending the official release of an accessory that I [...]
Outfitting a New Building
Do you ever have the experience of attending a conference, or reading a book, or hearing a sermon and thinking, “Yes! That’s exactly what I’ve been saying.” That was WFX for me last week. For years I’ve been thinking on the right way to outfit a new church building with A/V equipment. And WFX was [...]
Update on FCC Ruling
It’s been a week since the FCC voted on the issue of White Spaces. The cynic in me believes that they chose Nov. 4 as their day to vote figuring the rest of the country would be earnestly following the other election, and they could escape any real critique. That may be, but the techies [...]
Thoughts on WFX Fall 08
Though I had to leave a day early, WFX was a wonderfully helpful conference. First, it was great to hang out with Colin Burch of FaithTools (and one of his volunteers, Erik). We had a lot of fun together; it’s always great to meet with other tech guys and hear their stories and passions. I [...]
