5.211 museum, tech

Saturday 06/29/2024

Well, an uncommitted day, whatever shall I do? I walked to the downtown farmers and bought some ripe blenheim apricots. Then I decided to visit the San Jose museum of art, which I last visited in January 2020 — Day 1.060, also the day that I moved back into #621 after its upgrade. (Click the link for pictures – nothing has changed except the TV is newer.)

At that time I found the SJ museum moderately interesting. Today, not so much. There really isn’t much, just two large rooms, each dedicated to a single artist, and I wasn’t much interested in the works of either one. The best thing they had was the sculpture in the lobby, thousands of little metal pieces in a 3-D cloud.

But that trip was pretty much a bust. Plus two, $30 Lyfts.

Later on, after listening to an interview with a guy who was the touring sound man for a list of rock celebrities (Tina Turner, Prince, Van Halen, Jeff Beck, the Stones…) I was motivated to go down to the auditorium and check out all our microphones and try to adjust the sound as much as I could with our limited facilities.
