I haven’thad much time for blogging recently. But things are finally starting to slow down, so I figured it’s time for an update.

It’s done. The basement. I’ve spent the last three or four months saving up, constructing and setting up and media rig. A 100″ projector screen is the centerpiece, with a few other fun surprises lurking about down here. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly swimming in picture-taking options. Believe me, my webcam does it no justice.

I like movies, though. The whole movie-going experience is such a fun one for me. I love theaters. I feel like movie-watching is a social experience. It’s totally not supposed to be, but my friends and I are total movie-talkers. And movies should be something you share. One of the most fun experiences is seeing a movie you love (or hate) and spending hours talking about it at a restaurant after.

Building this thing was one of the most fun experiences for me. About five months ago, I was setting up a set in my basement for a skit that we actually ended up never making (another one on indefinite hold). I looked across my very, very cluttered basement, and saw the potential for a media room. From then on, it was a flurry. An often frustrating, stressful flurry, but an exciting one, that led to this thing as it is now.

Unfortunately, it’s more than a little hard to get to. So, I’m sure this won’t be the end of it. But it is pretty sweet.

I’ve got some more ideas, some more plans that I’d like to bring out into the real world over time. I have no idea how to. But God-willing, we’ll see.

I know what I’m aiming for over the next year. We’ll see how that goes.

In the meantime, I’m gonna aim to get back into blogging again. I’ve got a few pieces of tech, and some fun animation stuff I’d like to talk about.
