California road trip

We took most of Sunday off to drive up California's coastal highway to San Fransisco and north of there the Muir Woods. The day was overcast and cool. On the way back I took a few wrong ramps off the freeway and got us sort of lost in SF. Which was fine because we found a great place to eat and got to experience driving the hills of SF. Chris wound up the GPS unit and we found our way back to San Jose.

Return to San Jose

We're working hard getting everything done for the festival. It's been a really good experience so far with only a few hitches.

in the studio

In addition to all the work with the garden, I've been spending a lot of time in the studio getting things ready for upcoming shows in San Jose and Vancouver. There's lots to do. With the final drop off of crate contents to be prepared for shipping to San Jose, I shifted from work on wind coil sound flow to the preparation of devices for the Shadow Machine in Vancouver.





I finally wired up this hacked mobility scooter so it can be controlled by remote control. This forms the base of a 'wandering' workbench which will be used during the performance. So far it works well but now it's time to sort out all the wiring and mechanics for the final version.



It's easy for me to be distracted by an interesting challenge. We learned how to crack the combination for the safe that was left here by the previous tenants. With Tim Hunkin's lecture about the fine art of safe cracking in the back of my mind, we carefully worked out the 6 numbers to the combinations and the opening procedures for the two exterior door locks. What made it relatively easy was the fact that the door was already open and we could look inside the tumbler enclosure to see what was happening with the mechanism. I found a 3D animation of how tumbler based combination locks work too.
