Using Reward Points for a Better Good

November 7, 2018 0 Comments

For my career as a mobile broadcast engineer, I travel. A lot. And I work for a big company that offers things like health reward incentives. Like many career work travelers, I have learned how to use the rewards system. Aside from free airline travel & hotel stays, I have often used many points for […]

Presenting 360 Photo Art to the community

October 4, 2018 0 Comments

Recently, I entered some of my “cropped 360” photos into a local photography exhibition. Cropped 360 photos are flattened single viewpoints of a 360 image, able to be presented to a  2D photo world as traditional photography is. Of 4 images I presented, one was chosen for the print exhibition, where it will be hanging […]

3D Printing to do Good Things

October 2, 2018 0 Comments

I recently stumbled upon a unique crowdsourcing project, from the mind of a 16 year old in Maryland.  Much like how crowdsourcing has been long used to share computing power with projects like SETI, his Hope 3D project hopes to combine multiple printers from around the globe to solve problems too daunting to do with […]

To the Tower!

The end of our day in Seoul took us a bit off the beaten path. We had heard of the North Seoul Tower earlier when running into members of the US Olympic Team near the market. We could see it, and read there was a cable car, so we thought to just walk to find […]

My “Olympic Moments”

March 4, 2018 0 Comments

If you work in live sports broadcasting, there are many bucket list items you end up striving for throughout your career. Probably one of the most sought after (it was for me) is an Olympics. I know many who have done several Olympics. Don’t have that perspective yet, but suspect their first was similar. One […]

The gates and palaces of Seoul

March 4, 2018 0 Comments

I loved how much Seoul embraced both their old and new cultures. Scattered among the modern skyscrapers are structures from the Joseon Dynasty of the late 1300’s+. The Koreans have a strong desire to remember the traditions of the past, from what I can tell. Above is Sungnyemun: “South Gate.” Considered as Korea’s “National Treasure […]

I’m a Seoul man 😀

We finally got the chance to visit Seoul, South Korea’s capital city. Our last horah of our Olympic adventure. It felt like the vibe of New York City, only cleaner streets and not nearly so many honking car horns. It’s also very smoggy, with a thick hazy sky, due to too much vehicle pollution. This […]

Unification Park and a North Korean Submarine

The day after final strike (pack up) of our TV Trucks, we did more sight seeing in Gangneung. One of the crew heard about a beached North Korean Submarine on display. We unfortunately couldn’t properly convey this to our cab driver, and opted to be dropped off at a luxury hotel figuring we could walk […]

After the afternoon Women’s Hockey Final—Congrats go to USA for our first Gold for Women’s Hockey since 1998; we went back to Gyeongpo Beach to try to catch some of the Fire Art Festa.  Nothing going on that night, but I really wanted to eat at one of the seafood places along the beach. Found […]
