Things are happenin at Perimeter

So... right now... my heart is for ministry through tech. Particularly video related stuff. I never really thought about until recently, but now that I'm working this full time job at Perimeter, I can actually say I'm full time in the ministry. It's just not the same kind of ministry that most people think about. But it is definitely a ministry.

So... things are starting to come together with the video stuff we've been doing. People are starting to get more used to it and like it more. Every-now-and-then, I get an older person not like one thing or another and we'll have to make some adjustments, but that's ok.

We are now in a position where we need to get camera people to show up for rehearsals on Thursday nights. That way, we can actually practice and plan our shots in advance. We also have a plan that we're probably going to use that will help with the way our video teams are managed. I'm not sure what effect it will have on our teams, and who wants to be on our teams, but hopefully for the good. We're trying to raise the quality of the video so that it will look smoother and more professional.

CoCMS07

For those who don't know... CoCMS07 means - Camp of Champions Mississippi 2007

There is also a CoCTX07 that I'll also be participating in. Guess what that means...

CoCMS07 was great! I worked with Scott Sweeny in sound and video tech. The sad thing was Scott had to leave on Tuesday morning. The camp lasts till Friday. Fortunately, nothing terribly crazy happened while he was gone. It did get hairy wed night, but we made it. Friday was cleanup day. That was hard. We had equipment from 6 different people that had to be sorted and put back in it's proper place. We also got to use a technology that's new to us. (it's been around for awhile, we're just now getting it) In-Ear-Monitors! Wireless! They were great! While it was kinda hard to get some of the people used to it, once they did, the sound quality for the whole building skyrocketed! It was AWESOME. DB levels went down by5-7.

I then came back to Mobile to hang out with fam and friends. And also to help Grant hook their sound system back up with the new monitor systems! Hook up began at 1pm saturday and we were 100% finished around 7. Main speakers eq'd and everything. DB levals PEAKED at 101! That is the quietest IMPACT meeting EVER!

I'm looking forward to CoCTX07 and I will be bringing lots of gear from various places once again.

My Entertainment section

Here is my entertainment section... this shelf came with my cheapo desk and so I decided to use it for this... it's almost the perfect size...

My computer setup (temporary)

Here is my computer setup... I bought this cheapo desk to hold me over until I get my primary desk (hopefully very soon) and then I'll use it for a secondary desk...

My music section

Here is my music setup... I wish I could have brought my drum set....

I am now in an apartment!

After much time spent in finding a permanent place to live, I have finally found a place and am now officially moved in! I have made several trips to Mobile to hang out with friends and family and to get as much as I can fit in my van... I don't have much furniture, but I have my stuff... and I'm happy about that! I have all my music stuff (piano, percussion stuff) set up and a basic computer setup with a cheap, temporary desk from wal-mart.

I'm 10 - 15 mins to Perimeter and about 20 - 30 mins to anywhere else I want to go to. (i.e. Scott's, CLC, other friends, etc) The neighborhood seems to be very quiet so far. Parking is pretty nice here too. Even tho I'm in the lower floor, I don't have walk downstairs because of where I park. I have a phone line setup with DSL as well. The DSL here in ATL is VERY nice! I can get download speeds up to 800Kb/per sec! (Compared to 130Kb/per sec in Wilmer)
