Telephone communications

A 1908 Buick Speedster

     I have been deluged by solicitations. Therefore, I do not answer any calls that do not have a familiar called ID. If you are wanting to contact me via my cell phone, you will need to text me first and both identify yourself and the reason for contacting me. If it is legitimate business, I will get back to you. I do not answer cold solicitations. If I answer and do not get a response, the number will be blocked. If I use call screening and there is no response or a hang-up, the number will be blocked. 

     My email is likewise deluged. If it is legitimate business, I will respond. If the communique is a solicitation, I may look at it or not.

   I'm sorry it has come to this.

Animatronics

    I'm expecting to engage more actively in constructing the Animatronic Puppetry for The Gnomes of New Hope.

 There are two primary projects in this regard. The first is the Parade Float. We will create an animatronic scene on the Parade Float to use in promoting the Stage Musical. The second is to begin creating a Walk-thru Cyclorama depicting assorted scenes from the show.

   We have been working on learning Poser for CGI and are now discussing both 3D printing and programming cues for the actions of an animatronic chassis. We are still far off from a workable prototype, but we are on the path. 

  Some other things are happening in this regard, particularly the establishment of IMS Technologies as a vehicle for developing the animatronics and other related mechanical activities, including robotic technology and general manufacturing for assorted product lines.

  Truth be told, I will be looking to establish a Board of Directors to supervise operations with IMS Technologies, IMS Publishing, and IMS Management, each of which requires it's own staff. I am seeking individuals who would like consider buying into the operation as a hands on participant. Funding is a separate issue. There are numerous avenues in this regard, of which I can convey to interested parties.
