planktondreamsquietlyyesterday i found out that me and my buddies in the DSP music syndicate came in 3rd place at Vida 6.0. this is what we submitted. we're all pretty amazed since we felt like our project was clever and cute but it really didn't take much work and barely fit the submission requirements. here is a page with all the winners (we're about 1 page down). we won 1500 euros, which makes this all the cooler. sure glad the US dollar's worth is falling in the world market!
i'm even more excited for the next stage of our project. i think we've really got something here, and hopefully this bit of success will push us to get it done.

Date: 2003-11-26 08:32 am (UTC)origianlly i was thinking of the coolpix 4300 (since bridget and co. love their 995s) but after playing with it in the store i was completely unimpressed. however, the a80 seems pretty ideal...

Would it be financially viable to sell them on your web site?

define financially viable. ;) i think the cost of materials for making ~100 boards would be around $125 each. assembling one of them took maybe 4hrs. if we were doing an assembly line thing, we could make them in probably half the time. we'd need to be able to sell them for at least $200 for it to make sense. hard to say if we could get 100 takers at that price. i bet there are 100 people out there who would blow that kind of money for the novelty, but getting word out is the hard part.

congrats and happy birthday!
thanks and thanks! it is a happy birthday!

Date: 2003-11-26 09:44 am (UTC)i never saw the finished piece (had to leave while it was drying). i'm really looking forward to holding it in my hands and letting the concrete slab sing to me.
