Garage Makeover

Daniel Myers — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 19:13:24 +0000

The last few months I've slowly been working on repainting and cleaning up my garage. It's been a fun project, I think I chose it to start with because in the grand scheme of projects to improve my house, this one was the easiest! I also think there's a psychological factor in it for me to since my garage is the first thing I see when I get home and the last thing I see when I leave the house. Having it "in order" gives me a certain kind of peace or feeling of resolution when I walk through it. Anyway, here are some pics.

Colorful Hat Pictures!

Daniel Myers — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:22:00 +0000

I finally got my pictures from the Colorful Hat tour online. You can find them all on my picasawebsite. There are two albums posted, one has all the photos I took from the whole week, the good & the bad, and the other has just the one's I liked. I was a little disappointed by how few of the pics came out well, but I guess I couldn't really expect much better considering 90% of them were taken from FOH in very low light conditions. Anyway, here they are...

Chicago – Take 2

Daniel Myers — Fri, 30 May 2008 17:26:00 +0000

I'm back in Chicago again. I flew up here on Wednesday and I'll be here until next Wednesday. So far this trip has been far more enjoyable than the last trip. The work is pretty bland, but I have been making good use of my free time. Two nights ago I went to see Wicked and then last night I saw Jersey Boys. Both musicals were a lot fun and very much worth my time and money. The Jersey Boys production was so enjoyable that I immediately went back to the hotel and downloaded some music by The Four Seasons.

After both plays I spent some time thinking that I might enjoy working Broadway productions at some point in my career. I did find it interesting that the quality of the audio at both theaters was below my expectations. Note that I didn't say it was "bad," just not as good as I would expect it to be for such a large production. I frequently had trouble hearing and understanding the dialogue at both productions, although at the Jersey Boys production I was also alternately blown out of my seat by a few solos from the lead singer. I have to take into account that the challenges in reinforcing theatrical productions vary from those involved with concert productions, but that is part of the reason why I am interested in trying it. Another complication is that unfortunately most Broadway Productions are locked in to some extremely strict union contracts. I'm not a union worker, nor do I plan to be, so I guess I will just have to find some other way in. So who knows, maybe one day I'll find a fun job working with a Broadway production, I think that would be cool.

I'm going to upload some pictures when I have a chance. I've taken some really fun shots of the city during my walks around downtown.

I really need to get some fresh air!

Today I'm working a conference in Orlando, FL. It is currently a sunny 77 degrees outside, I am staying at a resort with a wonderful pool, as pictured here, (My camera died before I was able to get a good picture of it, so this one I stole from Google Maps) and I am not allowed to enjoy any of the wonderful surroundings. Instead, I am stuck inside a medium sized ballroom listening to sales meetings for a large medical research company. Wow, boring. During our last break I took a walk outside and discovered that it is the perfect weather to be outside sitting by the pool sipping, beverages... Oh well, perhaps later.

I did get some nice pictures of the hotel and convention center before my battery died and I uploaded all of them here.

Radnor Lake Fun

Daniel Myers — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:23:00 +0000

Last week was perfect Nashville weather, the sun was out but it wasn't hot, there was a little rain but not enough to cause problems and just enough to create a cool breeze. That kind of weather inspires me to get outside in God's creation and just enjoy the beauty, so on several days I went down to Radnor Lake to go hiking. I really enjoy that place, I'm sorry that I didn't make use of it more in college but I'm making up for it now. On one day in particular, I came in contact with a lot of wildlife, it all started when just as I started hiking, as I was rocking out with my iPod I wasn't really paying attention to what was in front of me, then I almost stepped on this:

So, that freaked me out a bit. I don't know a thing about snakes so I don't know if this one is poisonous or dangerous at all, but I decided to avoid it nonetheless. Another couple miles down the trail and I came across several deer as they were just chilling out in the woods. One of them was eating just a few feet off the trail I was on. It was a pretty cool moment, I'm not sure I've ever been that close to a deer outside of a zoo before. As I approached it never left and I was able to take some fun pictures.

And lastly I took this picture of some turtles, I didn't know they like to get together like this, but I saw several different groups of them huddled on logs throughout the lake.

Google Maps starting to get a little creepy…

Daniel Myers — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:53:00 +0000

So today I was looking playing around with the "street view" feature in Google maps. I have to say, it's amazing how evolved this thing is getting. Not only can I find my apartment, but my car is parked out front. I remember the days when I flipped out over the fact I could find a picture of my house taken from some satellite a bazillion miles a way, but this, this is just insane.

I'll admit, I love the Google as much as the next guy, but I do start to wonder sometimes if there should be a point where we say that the endless availability of information should be limited. I don't guess I really have a problem with Google wanting to have somebody drive down my street taking pictures of what it looks like, but my question is, will it stop there? Exactly where should we draw a line that says what information should be available for everyone and what shouldn't?

Wait, snow? Where am I?

Daniel Myers — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:40:00 +0000

So I had to rethink where I was this morning. I was pretty sure that I flew back from Denver the other day, but when I stepped outside this morning, it felt more like Denver than Nashville. And it's snowing! and some of it is actually staying on the ground, who'd of thought? On the flip side, the roads are a predictable disaster, people here just completely freak out whenever anything frozen hits the road. I was amazed to find out that some of the schools have decided to remain open though, I guess you just never know. Here are some pics from my trip. I'll get the pics from San Diego up shortly...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, lots of new things to update! SHOUTfest 07 has officially come to an end. It was a great experience and I hope that I get to do it again next year. This video is a little tour of the SHOUTfest crew and bus...

Right now I'm in NC with Laura's family for the Thanksgiving weekend. I'll update a little more about what's been going on here later.

Great night…Great picture!

Tonight's show went really well. I"m pretty tired so I think I'll hit my bunk soon, but I wanted to post a great little picture I snapped this afternoon. Brad, one of the guitar players in The Afters fell over on stage during his set and I got a great shot of him on the floor. It cracked me up, so here ya go:
