Funnily enough, tho this blog is called “The Humble Nailbanger,” your humble narrator probably tends to work as an electrician more than as a carpenter, and so was pretty happy to find these links:

iSquint is “an entertainment lighting technology blog that covers new products, services and trends within the industry.”

The Lighting Archive “is developing a collection of actual plots, focus charts, cue sheets from real shows. We will place an emphasis on historical productions and designers who have made important contributions to our field.”

The Theatrical Lighting Database – Modern theatrical lighting is a uniquely American art form, which until now has been exceedingly difficult to study due to limited access to original lighting documents. This collection contains actual plots, focus charts, cue sheets and much more from four landmark productions digitized from the collections of the New York Public Library.

The database seems to be drawn from the Lighting Archive, at least based on my cursory exploration.

Jim on Light-Jim, talking about many things concerning lighting.  I found this last night, and got completely lost in the first two posts, following links and finding all sorts of cool things.  I’m looking forward to exploring much more here.

Much more to come.
