New Page Added
You will notice that I have added a new page to my website; a glossary of terms related to theater and entertainment lighting. I have added this page because I am going to start talking about what I do for a living a lot more and I don’t want to have to stop and explain every other word. It disrupts the flow of the piece as well as my train of thought. So I put up a fairly comprehensive list of terms that may come up. I don’t expect anyone to become a professional just by reading it, but I’m hoping that everyone will have a much better understanding of what I do and what it is I’m talking about.
I’m currently working on a few posts related to lighting and what it’s like to work on a job site, so I encourage everyone to take some time and paruse through the new page. It’s super long though, so don’t feel like you have to read it all. Just get the basic gist of the page, and where things are and then you can use it as a reference later.
As a side note, while I was making this glossary, I thought about how nice it would be to have a page like that for World of Warcraft related terms. So I’ll probably work on another glossary page related to that topic. Feel free to post any WoW terms you think I should define, or any that you currently don’t understand yourself and I’ll see what I can do.
Enjoy.

Wow! What a list. I never realized there could be so many words needed for that area! I’m curious what you’ll write about it in the future!
And yeah, there are indeed many words in WoW, words that you more or less subconsciously learn while playing. It’s easy to take them for granted, forgetting about how it was to be new to the game, not having a clue about anything.

What can I say, it’s a complicated business! Truth be told, I actually left off a lot of things from the list–although I’ll probably just end up adding them in the future anyway.
