Green Team

Nathan showed our group this funny spoof about go green. It is a Will Ferrell skit and I suggest you guys take a look at it. Just youtube green team and it should be the first hit. Let me know what you think.

Shitty Water

Shitty water is the name for our forging fame project. We are designing a prototype that will be used to grow plants and herbs from greywater. The greywater used is the trash water wasted from doing the dishes. Instead of wasting valuable water to the ocean, why not use it to build your own indoor garden.

Under Pressure

I am feeling under pressure about this new project. Two weeks to prototype something that people are going to watch work or help someone is somewhat difficult in this amount of time. My advice is to think of something that will be interesting but do not get to crazy in the gizmo and gadget work of the prototype. Think simple. The more complicated the prototype the more likely it is not going to work.

Crash and Burn

I thought crash and burn provided useful experience. Convincing people to buy something that they may need or not need was more difficult than I thought. When I was at the frat house selling towels I told people who already had one to bring them down and swing them around to try and get people who were steelers fans without one to buy one. I took Matt's advice and didn't let people say know when I approached them about purchasing a towel. One girl got extremely offended because I told her she was a fake steeler's fan probably not from Pittsburgh. Turns out she is from the heart of Pittsburgh and got real angry with me. Now that this is over let me just say I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers...
