By the way, Things have gotten Bigger...yet I'm smaller

This is Daytona 2007, and there seems to have been an explosion. Now, a metric assload of people, wires, trucks, inter-connects, and egos occupy the same space we did last year. Between FOX,TNT, ESPN, Speed, and DirecTV, none of which really cooperate with each other, everybody shows up with their own crew and production truck. Daytona was a nightmare, given the new TV deal, and I wish I would have documented it when it happened. But all has since been virtually blacked out, maybe I'll do better next year. I will make one note that seems to have been constant all season. That is, the two trucks that are horizontal....in the middle... are "in-car" cams and SRT (shared resources truck) and they have been the dividing line between the warring factions (or networks) all year long. I am located in SRT (middle right) and I am responsible for "in-car" replays for everyone. Yep....I'm shared (whored out, really) and serve many different masters. Sometimes I get a little bump in pay...sometimes not... but it beats swinging a hammer (I think).

After a Long Hiatus

I must update the blog to pull my own chain. I really can't help it, and this little event seems to be the perfect opportunity to really try to get myself in the habit. The little gem I am holding in my hand is the fourth issued to me by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, otherwise known as an "Emmy" Although only two are evident in the picture, Mom has one, and so does Dad...they'll vouch for me.
