I was just informed that we now have an official Virginia Tech PR kit made publicly available through Virginia Tech Public Relations office (many thanks Jean for all your hard work on this one!). For more info click here. Apparently, the same release has also found its way onto Newswise (viewable here).
Things are also getting very hectic on the rehearsal front with patches and bug-fixes being issued on a daily basis leading up to the Friday debut.
Almost… there… must… stay… awake…
All right, so the event page has been now updated. The countdown to our debut “sneak preview” event is now officially underway. For additional info, click on the events page and/or visit our us on Facebook…
Happy Thanksgiving!
And so the first phase of what is hopefully going to be a very long (in a good way :-) saga in the life of L2Ork draws to a close and it seems like a perfect opportunity to once again thank all involved for their hard work and dedication. Not only have we met most if not all of our projected summer milestones relying exclusively upon a cohort of undergraduate student researchers, but have also managed to squeeze-in a few extras and to top it all off have a good deal of fun doing so!
So, once again I thank all Students and Colleagues: Dr. Martin and Prof. Standley for your hard work and dedication, I wish you a very pleasant and restful summer and I hope to see at least some of you in the fall as part of what is to become the very first generation of L2Orkists. Until then, be safe, get plenty of rest (you have definitely deserved it), and perhaps most importantly be proud of what you’ve accomplished!
Now, back to packing… Vacation, here I come!
This being the last week of our summer project, I feel rather good as we’ve accomplished most if not all of the goals set back in the Spring of 2009. We’ve:
Finally, as promised, we are sharing our first photos of the L2Ork hemispherical speakers with the World. Enjoy!
Is It a Hemi or an IKEA Salad Bowl?
It’s been a while since we posted anything, and with a good reason–we’ve been tremendously busy building speakers and supporting infrastructure. By Friday (June 26th) we had our first speaker up and running and the excitement was at an all-time-high. Once the rest of the cables, faceplates, and other supporting hardware were prepped, the remaining speakers progressed at a staggering pace. Consequently, last week we built the remaining 15 L2Ork speakers in less than four days. Special thanks go to all L2Ork worker bees for such a fine job! We should be posting photos shortly, so stay tuned!
