Trading Site of the Day -- The Option Insider: High Level News And Commentary

The Options Insider is a relatively new site and founded by an options trader by the name of Mark S. Longo.

The site has a few introductory articles to options trading. Hopefully, as time goes on, the substance will be filled out. For nitty gritty options information, I have already discussed a few sites, so nothing here is not such a bad thing.

The site's current strength is the news links. It looks as though they follow quite a number of news sources and provide links to Options related stories and other primary news sources. This is a good starting point for options related news releases.

Lighting Design for Sordid Lives

I've already accumulated a week of updates that havn't been performed yet for various and sundry things on this site. It looks like I'll have to fit things in when I can. I hadn't quite expected the time commitment. But I am having fun and learning something completely different. So if updates are slow for a while longer yet, hang tight, I'll get the stuff up sooner, or later. I'd really like to do it sooner myself, but we'll see how things go.

I'm volunteering at the Bermuda Musical and Dramatic Society as a crew member working the lights for the production of Sordid Lives by Del Shores. Mary Brier is lighting designer. I've been following her around, trying not to get too much in the way, but still trying to soak it all in. Not until one has been on that side of the theatre does one realize just how much work there is in producing a successful production. Warm and dark washes, cross lights, specials, down lights, sub-masters, amber and blue and lavendar colors, cues, ...

Opening is on March 1. At that time, the hectic design should boil down to pressing the 'go' button at the correct time on cue calls from the stage manager, in this case Nicola. Supervising the whole funny farm, and a good guy to work with, is the director Keith Madeiros.
