Call me a suck up...

So, sometimes my creativity gets in the way of my complete academic performance. For my basic instrumentation and calibration course, we had to make a loudspeaker ... well take a look at loudspeaker #1: Made out of a kleenex box

I didn't feel it was cool enough and it didn't work great, so I went for a more, outside of the box approach, literally.

Now take a look at loudspeaker #2: A Martini Glass and yes, I even made an olive out of clay and positioned my magnet on top of it. Genius.

Too bad it came in dead last in the speaker competition. It would be good for a narrowband filter, though :) I did manage to get all the points for creativity and design, which I expected. My professor leaves the building everyday at 4:30 to meet his wife for happy hour ... his favorite drink is a martini.

So, if this whole grad school thing doesn't work out, I could make speakers or circuits or patch cords!
