- Happy New Year & New Equipment
Yes I realize this is about 4 days late but I did not want to post content over the weekend while moving domains around. I still have a handful of photos from last year that I never did mark and post however none were really of consequence other than some damage photos of the tree [...] - New Equipment
So I’ve picked up two 20/24 channel Motorola Radius M1225 mobiles to put in my vehicle, one VHF and one UHF. The VHF radio isn’t for chasing as much as it is for my public safety (fire/search & rescue) work. For the most part everything is in place, I just need to route the power [...] - Blizzard Video
Unfortunately I am still working on getting the bugs out of my video setup as those watching my feed on ChaserTV during Tuesday’s blizzard saw. It seems now that it was largely placement of the camera rather than the camera itself that was causing the focus issues, I will have to do another test before [...] - A New Look for A New Year
With the new year, I thought I would start looking for some new looks for the site instead of the generic generated template I had been using so I am testing some new layouts on the site from the WordPress.org website. My first choice did not really want to cooperate with a couple of my [...] - Upgrades Part 2
I spent part of this evening while I was watching The Debris Show upgrading the website to WordPress 3.0.1 among other software upgrades to my computers. I also completed one other change to the Live Video page, the UStream video code has been replaced with the code to display my ChaserTV stream as well. - Equipment Upgrades/Updates
With the small increase in my cash pool that occurs this time of year I was able to purchase some equipment upgrades to prepare for 2011. First off I purchased a new webcam as the one I had was rather old and was reaching the limit of its usefulness, especially as it was incompatible with [...] - Equipment Update
Alright so I’ve been making progress on the wish list lately. I picked up a 400W inverter for the car as well as an aircard from Verizon. Looks like all thats left now is a GPS unit. I also purchased some “new” computing hardware which is supposed to arrive later this week. Looks like the [...] - Quick Update
I just finished some upgrades to the site over the last couple days which include the ability for the Twitter feed on the left side to actually work. Also congratulations to the chasers who got their first tornado of 2010 during some severe weather in Oklahoma this afternoon. It dawned on me the other day [...] - Linkage
I was trying to add some more links to the site this afternoon so there are a few more chasers’ in the list now. Hoping for some site upgrades before the season begins but it will likely be a couple more weeks before I’ll be able to do it. - Chase Gear Wishlist
I just thought I’d run through some of the stuff I’d like to have for the 2010 severe season, however due to money issues I’m not sure how much of this will actually happen. First off, a GPS would be good for both navigation and to post to SpotterNetwork. I’d like to do live streaming [...]
