Sean O'Skea made the Vectorworks tutorial videos I watched in college to teach myself Vectorworks 2013. Now he's in the middle of a new series of videos for Vectorworks 2026. They are very good!

I meet more and more young artists who have been taught there is no way to make art (even a small one-weekend show) without tens of thousands of dollars and lavish producers, and it is hard to re-train them to be scrappy and thrifty.

I fear that educational theaters these days are too easy to use, so students learn to abstract away all the controls and networking infrastructure and configuration it takes to make a theater function. Make theaters jankier! (and save some money in the process)

Electronic Theatre Controls is one of the few equipment vendors on my network who actually owns a MAC address space- 00:c0:16. Most other vendors just use the MAC assigned by their NIC provider.

Their messaging is a bit confusing but ETC's new Prodigy Balance is very cool. Every arbor has a built-in winch. Load the pipe, then haul the arbor back down to add weight. Weights are engaged via switches like a weight machine at the gym.
