Is It a Hemi or an IKEA Salad Bowl?

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!

A double entendre…

“Where are the strippers?”

Gotta expose that wiiiiireee girl!

The home stretch

Or at least the home stretch for speaker assembly.  We have five speakers working now and are pushing for three more each day so we can finish this week, but, even with the promised paradise of the Nintendo Wii, morale seems low.  After soldering for 2 – or is it 3? – weeks now, soldering has gotten very old very quickly, and so, in the spirit of earlier posts, here is a haiku:

Soldering is so

So, so, so, so, so, so hot

It burns.  Ow!  D**n it!

The same kind of loving and morally upstanding dynamic can be found here at L2Ork

Boy Meets World

…but that emptiness has now been filled.

After soldering for a couple hours today I have begun to feel a little loopy and thus have decided to take a blog post break.

Note: do not inhale tip tinner! It will leave you with a massive headache and everything may begin to feel slightly different.

Paul has said that we need a special place on the site to post all the absolutely horrid jokes that ensue when all us l2orkists get together in a smelly tinny room to solder, and I agree.  Here’s a taste:

“Man, that amp board is looking pretty rough.”

“Yeah. I would never bring it home to my motherboard!”

It’s pretty awful that I posted that because I said it in the RL.  I’ll try not to shamelessly display my verbal finess in the future.

I can’t wait until this all comes to fruition.  The speaker housings are looking sweeeeeeeetttt thanks to Eric and Brian.  Heck yessss.
