It’s been a busy weekend, and now that Monday rears its ugly head, it’s time to get back to work. For some of us, it means looking for work, and others it means working hard and keeping busy. With the summer season coming up, I have to believe that the “keeping busy” part won’t be an issue.
Let’s catch up on last week — a lot happened last week that was of industry importance.
First — Wybron, Inc is closing its doors on June 28, 2013. After 35 years in business and with tons of technological development for and in our beloved Lighting Industry, the maker of the Color Scroller (et al) says goodnight, and good luck.
Then — Live Nation, Optex Staging, and Domenic Cugliari (an individual engineer that allegedly signed off on the Radiohead stage that collapsed and killed Scott Johnson, Radiohead’s drum tech) were sued by the Ontario Health and Safety Board. This is a huge deal in the world right now, especially since summer gigs are kicking full steam ahead. Are you safe in the workplace?
Next — a Kickstarter campaign by some extremely intelligent and driven individuals to manufacture the first man-made bioluminescent trees. I highly recommend this as a respite from the news about disasters.
Then — are you an expert of light? Think you know the difference between Luminance and Illuminance? Then put your knowledge where your mouth is and take the JimOnLight LIGHT Quiz!
Stay tuned, world — more to come soon, and I wish you all a Happy Monday!
