It's the perfect idea for a blog. I don't know of any other projectionist related sites, so it fills an important niche. I can't say that I'm a big fan of feed burner myself mostly because it's hard to leave them and keep your RSS subs, but I don't know of any other RSS advertising solution. When it comes to the projectionist news, the two stories that I'd like t see is 1.) Whether or not television is making it to these digital projectors and what impact it's having. When I was a kid my local theater would have bingo games before the movie for free popcorn and what not. I imagine a world, where you can one day go into a theater on a weeknight and watch event television. We've seen this a little with some of the 3D basketball and NFL, but I want to see theater dating nights where they show The Bachelor and singles can mingle or a Survivor themed game where you can vote people out of the tribe at the theater. I think if someone did it right, they could re-energize weekday theater attendance. The second thing that I'm interested in is all of the competing sound certifications. It used to be everything was in DTS and/or THX, but then Sony introduced SDDI and a lot of theaters went in that direction. I'd love to know where sound technology has evolved over the last decade. Good luck with the new site, I'm looking forward to future posts. It looks like a great site. It’s the perfect idea for a blog.
