I'm John Huntington, author of Control Systems for Live Entertainment, the first book on show control and entertainment control systems. This site covers entertainment, technology, severe weather, photography and combinations of all of those things.
When I get caught up, I'm planning to do some work with my friend Tom Igoe on the parallels between the worlds of professional show control/entertainment technology and the DIY maker movement. If you don't know about the maker movement, there was an interesting article in the NY Times here.
