You have to respect power and this is some cool ass shit.
Jacob’s ladders are really neat hell, I built one out of a transformer from a neon sign when I was in the 6th grade. I could only dream to see the videos of this stuff in person.

Ok Erik had to start a new account for me since the last one was a beta account and there were problems.
Ok by now most people have noticed a few changes here at blogscene.com.
I’ve migrated everyone’s accounts over to the new MT3.0d and I’ve also made some DNS changes to the site. Blogscene.com is now it’s own domain rather then running as a pointer from pirate.org. The main reason for this is that I have some plans with pirate and I want to separate the two sites. Hopefully things should stabilize a bit in the next day or so with domain. I can get to it at some locations but not at others. I’ve been wanting to do this cutover for about a year now..
I’m going to require the use of comment monitoring- What does this mean to you? it means you should go to www.typekey.com and register so I can add your typekey token to your blog configuration.
People who use a typekey login to comment will not have to be moderated(unless you want me to se it up that way), but all other commenter’s will have to be approved by you. This will cut down on the comment spam that I have to clean out of your comments and it will give you control of the comments. There have been times in the past where people have had comments that really offended them and blame went to the wrong person or persons and I would like to avoid that kind of drama. I feel that the blog poster has the right to censer the comments if they feel like it and it’s a easy way to do it. If your really against this for your blog I can remove it, but you will have to give me a better reason then I don’t want it since the main reason for this is to control spam and unless it’s comment about your blog entry I’m sure you don’t want viagra or some other nonsense in your comments.
Also I’ve made the decision to allow everyone to edit their blog templates. Before for you do please drop me a line so I can let you know what I need you to include since due to the license I need to make sure certain items remain on your blog.
Don’t hesitate to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns.

I know I’ve talked a little about this in my last blog entry, but since it’s what I’ve been living it’s all I really have to talk about more or less right now.
I had this plan during all my travels to have a travel blog about what was going on day by day, but I’ve been too tired to even blog for the most part.
I have to agree with LyE that I used to enjoy travel a lot for work, but now days even though I still enjoy it I wish it was just a little more spread out. It’s really tough to balance both a work life and a social life while on the road. It seems like every other week I’m off to another site just to work my ass off for the week to come home for the weekend and then bust my ass yet again to catch up on everything that i couldn’t do away from my desk. People have this expectation that I can get everything done at the drop of a pin. Yet for the most part most people haven’t the faintest clue that my job is much tougher then one might think.
My job is a juggling act of time management and beating my head against a wall. When I’m not gathering equipment for an installation, I’m doing a walk-thru with a vendor. Or I’m receiving on new equipment adding asset tags or installing equipment in our inventory management system. I’m auditing the equipment to make sure we have what we say we have, and fixing the problems that arise when people don’t do their jobs. That’s just scratching the surface of what I do. People don’t see the fact that I work long hours without overtime. That I sometimes work days and nights, today I started at 8am and I’m not going to be done until 5am.
I’m not complaining about my job since I truly like what I do, it’s just that sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I don’t have the time to wind down. What sucks is my social life goes into chaos, I have friends that I have barely seen in the last 3 months, I’ve haven’t seen my cats much, I go days without seeing Teri, who by the way has been very understanding and terrific about dealing with all my travel.
I’m just looking forward for some time to slowdown and take a break, but right now it looks to stay busy. I might be going back to Phoenix next week, and my counter part here in NCAL is going to be taking most of August off so I’m going to be doing my job plus covering for him.
So if I haven’t dropped you a line lately or if I’ve seemed a bit short on IM or on the phone, it’s because I’m just down right tired and not very social right now.
It’s feast or famine when it comes to work and right now I can’t eat another bite or I’ll explode(a little monty python humor very little) it’s 1:34 and I’ve been up since 7am give me some slack.
