We got a chance to talk about what I call the Big 3: Tech Desk Consulting, Equipment Checkout, and Full-Service Poster Printing. In addition to that, we had demo of a miniDV camcorder importing a live video feed into a Macbook via iMovie. It's the best of both worlds -- on-the-fly import as well as a tape backup! We also had a Wii set up -- I think we got about as many questions about the Wii as we did about Multimedia Studio Tours! Even Rich got in on the Wii Bowling action.
For giveaways, we treated our guests with Apple Remotes! (No, they are not the old iPod Shuffle!) Many people were pleasantly surprised when they learned what it was for. These handy little helpers are great for activating Front Row on your Intel Mac, as well as for shuffling through songs on our docked iPod. Did you pick up an Apple Remote?
Our Stucomp friends Surajit and Ethan also stationed the official Stucomp and Rescomp tables. Here you can see that they are definitely deep in thought.
Did you see our banners? "I was already feeling pretty stressed with the last-minute preparations for this once-in-a-lifetime event, so when I realized we didn't have a cool banner, I nearly went bonkers. Instead, I opted to express myself through a gritty depiction of the Meyer Tech Desk and Multimedia Studio," Kenneth explained to himself as he wrote this post. And what do you know? They are here just in time for Halloween.
Thank you to all of the participants who took our 5-minute survey. We may release some of the hard data once we've had a chance to process it, but in the meantime, check out some of the comments and suggestions about our services and facilities:
