Zoom, Zoom … Brrr, Brrr
As you know, if you’ve been following this blog, I’m an audio guy with the Olympics. This means that before the games, I’m installing and testing circuits in the Commentary Control areas including what’s called the Mix Zone, the place where all the media and press are able to get comments, and even interviews, [...]
Sorry, Shakespear, All the World’s a PARTY
Well, somebody (who shall remain Coca-Cola) apparently let it slip out that there would be a party in Whistler to kick off the Olympic festivities. Word spread, and pretty soon everybody in town converged on the village for, well, crowd-related stuff. My boss, Dave, and I got off the bus from the venue, [...]
Mr. President, Would you send us some snow?
Ed, my colleague in Commentary Control, is from Baltimore, MD. His wife called the other day to report the three feet of snow that had just fallen in the front yard. Ed and I looked at each other. We’ve seen but a few inches of snow falling since we’ve been here in Whistler. Mind you, [...]
Wow, what a start!
It’s important for me to confess right from the start that my wife and kids are right. I need to get in shape. They may get their wishes granted this month. My venue is perched on the side of a very steep mountain and I had to walk up and down that [...]
It’s All a Matter of Scale
I was amazed to learn today just how much bigger the Summer Olympics are than the Winter Olympics. To me, I love them all and enjoy watching each about the same. Apparently that zeal is not shared around the world.
Countdown to Vancouver (Repost)
I originally posted this article a few weeks ago, but blogs and technology being what they are, the file got corrupted and the body of the article disappeared from my site. Here, therefore, is a repost. Sorry for repeating myself…
Well, I signed my contract on March 26th of last year, and since that [...]
Did you want a seat … INSIDE the plane?
I’m flying out to Vancouver next week courtesy of the Olympics and United Airlines. In preparation for being away from home for a month, I’m trying to figure the best way to pack. I’m reminded of the castaways from Gilligan’s Island and how much stuff they packed for a measly 3-hour tour.
A quick look at the Whistler Slide Venue
This is not a lengthy post compared to what I normally write, but that’s because the article does all the work for me! If you’d like a sneak peak at where I’ll be working during the 2010 Winter Games, here it is directly from the official website.
Finding the right Winter Boots in Georgia
One of the smaller details in the correspondence from the powers that be in Vancouver is that I should do my best to find some warm, waterproof winter boots that have high tops and good traction. This is because I will be working in Whistler in February. Whistler, for those who don’t know [...]

Okay, I’ve been putting it off long enough. Finally, today, I’m pleased to present a few techie photos. When I was in Beijing, our broadcast compound was a bit less spread out, so it was easy for me to get pictures of all sorts of stuff. Here, we’re [...]
