Equipment:

My main computers are a laptop and mac pro, plus various virtual unix servers. My primary camera is an aging Panasonic HVX-200 with a pair of 4GB P2 cards. My audio setup is an Audio Technica mike and a Gitzo boom pole. Other accessories: a Bogen tripod, a Glidecam, a greenscreen, batteries, a bunch of random cables, gels left over from various jobs, and so on.

Embedded:

My current dev devices are a 3G iPhone and an Android smartphone. For television, I have an AppleTV running XBMC with USB hard drives for storage. I have a bunch of routers running various versions of the Tomato firmware. My current backup system is a Time Capsule.

Storage:

I currently have data on eighteen or so hard drives. They nominally total a little over 18TB before formatting: the actual data count is currently 7.23/14.5 TB. My current high-powered disk management scheme involves a spreadsheet and the mess you see to the right.

My long term goal is to consolidate everything into a single volume and eliminate the detritus. My long term backups are on a ZFS array. One of my dev boxes runs XSan atop network iSCSI volumes for virtualized storage.

FutureTech:

• The Red roadmap intrigues me, but I’ll probably just trade for a AF-100.
• Some better lighting equipment.
• More disk space. No matter how much I have, that always applies.
• More CPU cycles. See above.
• More bandwidth. See above.
