New TV wiring and video games

Believe it or not, this is a much neater version of the wiring behind our TV.  We have a lot of video game systems, so a lot of irregular parts and wiring to cram together.

Included systems:

1. Atari 7800 (the only system missing parts and therefore not working...yet)
2. NES
3. SNES
4. N64
5. Wii
6. PS2
7. Xbox 360
8. Xbox One
9. Mac Mini with a bunch of emulators and media library

All of this feeds not one but TWO large screen TVs in the living room... It has all come together piece by piece, so it really needs to be pulled apart and re-run entirely, yet still allowing individual systems to be pulled out and brought outside for our annual summer parties with the big projection screen.

Back to San Francisco...

Corporate gig, running audio and video lecture capture for my friends Sonic Foundry at Dreamforce in San Fran, which vies with Paris for favorite city award.  I came here many years ago, and never returned.  I was just here on tour earlier in the month for a day, and now I'm back for a week.  Love it. Sadly, my iPad bit it last night, falling off my bed at the hotel, and attempts at repairs have not worked.

Tomorrow I have Green Day/Blondie tickets for a rare evening off!

Update: Last night's Green Day show was an interesting and fun disaster due to weather.  Rain killed the PA system about 4 songs in, and they still did a 2 hour show.  Talked to one of the local union guys and learned what went on back stage.  Pretty insane, but they got the system back up and running for the end of the show!

On the road with Hiatus Kaiyote

I'm in the middle of a two week bi-coastal US tour with Hiatus Kaiyote, as Sound Engineer and Tour Manager.  Tonight we play the Independent in San Francisco.  They have a massive analog Midas mixing desk, which is just so damn musical sounding, I can't stand it.  Soundcheck was good, so tonight should be yet another amazing show!
