Photos as promised, plus some prospecting gear.

WHAT.








New equipment & plane tickets.

I head to Chicago in about a week for a gradschool interview with Northwestern’s Art & Theory department, and didn’t realize until I was called today about an interview time that it is still winter in parts of the country.  Poor Todd told me it was about 35 degrees outside and I could hear the envy in his voice when I told him I was wearing a t-shirt and had just come inside because I was sweating a bit.  Had I not have been told, I probably would have flown up without a jacket.

In other news, I picked up quite the bounty from the Museum of Fine Arts today, a revamp in the security equipment caused the previous devices to be donated, and they were very open to me taking what I wanted.

The equipment filling my ship’s hold [backseat]:

[7] Phillips Time Lapse Video Recorders

[4] AV 16 channel multiplexers with mounts for a video bay

[1] 7-channel video switch

They had several monitors, but I just don’t have the room as much as I would have liked to have taken them all.

Pictures to come as soon as I unload everything.

I just found out that this was linked on a couple of synth-blogs just after it was uploaded, I wondered where the 400 views came from all of a sudden.
