This Emulator allowed Hewlett Packard’s HP-41 series programmable calculators to run custom programs burned onto EPROMS placed into the zero insertion sockets.

LectureMaker Produces Zoomable Event Photos

It’s common for my clients to ask for photos as well as video when I produce a live event video recording session.

The zoomable photo technique works well to capture a wide angle view of live events thanks to LectureMaker’s high quality photographic techniques: Example

Sometimes I want to express a feeling as part of my live event photography. The zoomable photo allows me to create new information that is otherwise hard to convey. In this example, click on the video camera eye-piece to see right through the video camera to the presenter himself: Example

Ron Fredericks writes: A blacksmith in downtown San Francisco? Yes, there is one left and it’s still operational:

Edwin Klockars Blacksmithing
443 Folsom Street
San Francisco, CA

There is an historic plaque located outside near the front door. It reads:

“Klockars’ Blacksmith Shop
Beginning in the 1860′s, foundries south of Market Street fabricated mining machinery, railroad cars, and ships. This 1912 machine shop is the last. Fred V. Wilbert forged fine tools here. Edwin A. Klockars (1898 – 1994), a native of Munsmo, Finland, joined Wilbert in 1928. His precision-made tools helped construct the Emperor Norton and Golden Gate Bridges and hundreds of ships during World War II. Still in production is [sic] his 1939 jam tongs that enable canning companies to clear convulsed conveyor carriers. Ed Klockars had one motto: “Anything you need, we make.” This shop still does.

I parked by the Bay Bridge in San Francisco next to Rincon Park, just off the financial district.

I planned to walk over to BrightTALK for a meeting on using my event video and community “ringleader” services. Along the walk I could not believe it, in a building wedged between skyscrapers, and only 1 building away from the BrightTALK building, there it was. I stopped by to introduce myself and see if I could take a few pictures.

As it turns out Tony, the current blacksmith at Klockars. is a friendly guy. Here is a a zoomify photo of him standing outside his shop.

Local companies use Klockars as their hardware store, it seems. For the few minutes I was in Tony’s shop, I meet Zorik, a specialty camera maker for Grande Vitesse Systems (GVS). Tony allowed me to come inside and take a picture of this historic old blacksmithing shop while they talked.

Here is a photo of Zorik talking to Tony about making something for an upcoming project.

Using the video camera setup described above, I recorded my trip up to the San Francisco Commonwealth Club. Watch the video to see visual landmarks along the way. Listen to the video to learn what others feel is the best parking strategies when driving to the Commonwealth Club. Finally, watch the video to see how to get to the Gold Room inside the Commonwealth Club building itself.
