Google had them tucked away: So here they are. Reposted and shiny.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards
Arve

That fits. http://avols.com/blog/2008/11/tear-out-the-old-stuff-build-something-new-that-fits/ http://avols.com/blog/2008/11/tear-out-the-old-stuff-build-something-new-that-fits/#comments Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:03:55 +0000 Arve Voldsund http://avols.com/blog/?p=111 I am a fan of car audio. When at home with family or other people you can’t go AC/DC on, the car stereo is a saver: You just have to wait until the next drive.

I don’t have a car at the moment, but I went to see some other cars with stereos in them at the Emma (European Mobile Media Association) exhibition in Tønsberg last Saturday. A friend of mine, Frode, was one of the exhibitors (Bassbrothers), and he was kind enough to give me a tour. Check out Bassbrothers’ website for more info about car audio.

I learned a couple of things:
1: These guys are not afraid of building, tearing apart, make a new interior that is supreme compared to what came as default.
2: Building things in plastic is not a problem, it is a necessity.
3: Definition (frequency and space (ie panning)) in good car audio is superior to a lot of high end studio monitors I have put my ears in front of.
4: A dashboard, or any other part not suitable for a stereo, goes out. A new one is built, and take my word for it: A Toyota doesn’t have to be.. toyota.

What impresses me the most, is the new parts that these guys put togheter. It is amazing. Rapid prototyping seems to be a time waster. They just make stuff, and do so without fancy tooling.

I am going to learn from the car audio people.

cheers

I like Firefox, so therefore, until I get another blogsystem up, this will be it. Please send me an email if you encounter problems around this site. I want you to have a smooth visit, and a nice ride home.

Therefore I have been reading, looking and thinking about presentation techniques today, and one of the presenters I watched doing his magic is Keith Barry. I am puzzled, amazed and inspired by this video over at ted.org.

Have a look around at ted.org as this site contains a myriad of interesting stuff in a many categories.

Seth Godin’s blog is also a very valuable resource.
