go.tagjag.com/nfstwitter.com/chrispirillo – Playing Need for Speed on my iPhone is actually a great way to unwind. I gotta thank the folks at EA for sending this along to me to play with – I mean… review! I’ve been having a great time trying to beat my own score. Racing games are always fun, but this one takes first prize in my book. It has excellent graphics and animations, the audio is good, and it’s just plain fun. chris.pirillo.comThis video was originally shared on blip.tv by l0ckergn0me with a No license (All rights reserved) license.

- a video and audio series about a six-day children’s book road trip

In November 2008, the Just One More Book!! children’s book internet radio program set out on a six-day road trip to live, eat, socialize, paint and read with children’s book creators.

Producers Andrea Ross and Mark Blevis and their two daughters, Lucy (9) and Bayla (7), lived by a tight schedule of studio visits, lunches, dinners, round table discussions and gallery visits. The trip was video and audio recorded and has been produced as a series of documentary video and audio programs that was published on the Internet, for free, beginning Tuesday, March 31, 2009 (click here to see a promotional video clip).

The videos are snappy and entertaining and feature uniquely intimate footage.

The goal of the series is to give children’s books and the children’s book community their long-overdue pop-media treatment.

Episodes include

* Lane Smith discussing original artwork and his creative process
* Diane de Groat showing how she mixes digital and physical art
* Jarrett Krosoczka painting with Lucy and Bayla
* Jeff Mack explaining the story behind some of his books
* R. Michelson Galleries’ 19th Annual Children’s Illustration Exhibition

Notable facts

* round-trip by rental car: 1500kms
* long-distance travel time: 20hrs
* video recording: 13hrs
* audio recording: 25hrs
* photograghs: more than 2000
* editing time per episode: 16hrs (average)
* the project is completely self-funded (no advertisers, sponsors or grants)

Guests include Jeanne Birdsall, Nick Clark, Diane de Groat, Tony Diterlizzi, Corinne Demas, Jane Dyer, Scott Fischer, Mordicai Gerstein, Paul Jacobs, Norton Juster, Jarrett Krosoczka, Jeff Mack, Richard Michelson, Leslea Newman, Lane Smith, David Ezra Stein, Heidi Stemple, Mo Willems and Jane Yolen.

Quotes from Mark Blevis’ blog post about the series:

What I’ve noticed over time is that children’s books and their creators have been treated very traditionally in the media. In fact, I’ve even noticed this on the web where some of the most interesting interviews with authors and illustrators have been low on production value (e.g. ten-minute video interviews of a talking head). There is so much talk about the importance of children’s books and literacy and how fun it is to learn to read and to read aloud, but the way we promote this in the media suggests otherwise.

I’ve drawn on some of the most entertaining and engaging ways to produce programs that I’ve experienced to date, and have come up with a few ideas of my own. The result is a series of videos which give the children’s book industry the pop-culture treatment enjoyed by niches such as fast food, the environment, movie stars, sports, music and technology, to name a few. My hope is that this approach will make the videos and the subject interesting to everyone, from those that are passionate about children’s books and creativity, to those that aren’t particularly interested in books at all.

Test Fitting
Car Speakers & Subwoofers

test fitting the components on the new sub. most people here wouldn’t know it, but one of my other hobbies is DIY audio, for both home and car.

12" 4 ohm dayton quatro
2.5" x 6" flared port (tuned to approx. 28 Hz)
450W remote controlled plate amp (remote sensor and gain/crossover knobs are on a separate panel on the side of the box)

all parts are from partsexpress.com. they’re an amazingly great resource for any kind of DIY electronics parts / tools. their house brand of speakers and cabling, dayton, is usually higher quality than brand name stuff, and with a lower price. they also run a very informative forum for people who are into this kind of stuff.

after this box is sanded, it’s going to be covered with black ash vinyl laminate, and set on a patio stone that’s also covered with laminate. patio stones make great speaker stands. they’re cheap, they’re heavy, they don’t vibrate and they don’t get knocked over.

the box is a somewhat unusual shape for a subwoofer. most sub designs for home theater are cube shaped but this is tall and narrow, more like a main speaker. i’ll explain my rationale for this design in the next couple of pics. the box itself is just about 2 ft^3, and measures 17" x 10.5" x 28".

Monolith

ok… first things first: there is a little bit of wide-angle trickery going on here, but it’s not as bad as you might think.

this is my old sub, which is being replaced by the new one under construction. i salvaged the two MTX blue thunder legend 10"s from a car box that originally had three of them (the voice coil melted on the third). these subs have served me well for almost ten years. they look a little ratty, but i kept them. maybe they’ll find new life in some other project down the road.

the box measures 10" x 16" x 78". that means it’s 6.5 feet tall. that means it’s taller than i am (i’m 6’4"). there were 165 screws on just the outside, plus another 15 or so internally that i couldn’t remove. it’s volume is roughly 7 ft^3. the ports are 1.5" x 4". i don’t know what the tuning frequency is, but it’s LOW. like, maybe below 20 Hz. it’s highly efficient, and would reach THX spec with maybe around 50-60 watts. it weighs, i’m going to guess conservatively, about 200 lbs. it took me around 20 hours to build, straight through, and one hour to dismantle. it’s built the way i build all my sub boxen: with a bead of liquid nails at the joints, and overkill on the screws. i still remember having to drag this up the narrow basement stairs at something like 4:00am the night i built it. and after that, i still had to wrestle it into position. it is a beast, and it doesn’t move well across carpet.

you can probably understand why it’s being replaced. it’s a great performer, but the size and weight make it completely impossible for any sane person to live with. it also looks like rat ass because i didn’t care about making it look professional when i built it. the new sub should equal it in performance, and will definitely look more presentable. and while the new one is big, it’s not THIS kind of big.
