5 SET 2026 · Concert photography sounds simple until you realize you may have only the first three songs to get the shots you need. Jay Franze joins me for HGG688 to talk about what actually goes into photographing live music — from carrying multiple camera bodies and shooting RAW files to protecting those images with redundant storage and deciding where AI-assisted editing fits.

29 AGO 2026 · Seth Johnson from HomeTech.fm joins Jim Collison to talk about programmable pixel lights, holiday displays and the hardware behind thousands of individually addressable LEDs. They cover HolidayCoro, QuinLED, WLED, Xlights, Home Assistant and why electrical calculations still need more than a confident AI answer.
Then Seth shares what he has learned from Navimow robot mowers, EGO electric lawn equipment, fast-growing Florida grass, moles and a robot with a serious case of "edge anxiety."
Later, Seth shows off his Maslow large-format CNC and explains how he hopes to use it for plywood projects, including Halloween and Christmas decorations that could eventually become part of his pixel-light displays.
Jim and Seth close with local AI, the AI bubble, expensive hardware and storage, machine-learning audio cleanup, Auphonic, ElevenLabs and why cloning a familiar voice remains harder than it sounds.
