Is this fun to do? And how long have you done it?
The Wheel Questions project is over for 2009, and having self-funded the last two years, I definitely cannot self-fund it again 2010. However, I am hopeful that corporate sponsors or a grant will help me continue the project. Do me a favor and mention it in your blog or to friends. The more it’s out […]
Recording answers at Edaville Today – last video day!
Yesterday was a flood of people at Edaville Railroad, despite temperatures around freezing. I got a bunch of people on camera despite everyone frantically hurrying from attraction to the warm indoor gallery back to attraction. And plenty of cards as well. My trick for the first 4 hours was hot apple cider. Hot anything, really. […]
Back to Edaville Railroad for One More Day of Questions
I can’t help it! I had so much fun at Edaville Railroad that I’m going back for a second day. The Edaville Festival of Lights is a midsize amusement park with a carousel and Ferris wheel and a lot of kids rides. But the main attraction is a train ride that takes you in a […]
Nearly 200 Videos for Days 1-5 are up. Hello, Edaville Railroad!
It’s been a completely crazy week, but the end is in sight. The last day will be tomorrow, Friday, at Edaville Railroad’s Festival of Lights, the largest display of lights in New England. (I might switch it to Saturday if the rain forecast disappears.) That will make the Wheel Questions Video Blitz over two weeks […]
Recording 3 days of answers in a single night at MIT
After spending 8 hours in Harvard Square yesterday gathering questions (which is Day 6), last night I went to the convenient classrooms of MIT to record some answers. MIT’s layout is a giant corridor system where all the buildings are connected. The whole thing is lighted and heated year-round. I came across some jugglers who […]
Another day in Harvard Square… the last?
I’m just finishing up editing the video questions from Monday to Wednesday and hope to answer them all (that’s 120 questions) tonight, because tomorrow, I reconnect with my sponsors to see about a 2nd week for the Wheel Questions Video Blitz. However, today is another day recording questions, both by video and in writing. This […]
Videos from Plymouth are up!
Although it’s been one week since I began the project, I’ve collected questions for only 5 days and answered questions for only 3 days. I would guess I have 150 video questions and 450 written questions, so far, for a total of 600, and I’ve answered about 1/6th. I have “wasted” quite a bit of […]
Answering questions & more review of the HP Envy
I was up this morning at 5am and published my other blog, Johnny’s List of Weird Boston Events, which is now the most popular blog in New England on events! Check it out for the scoop on holiday lights, Santa parades, and how to avoid Xmas altogether if you want to. Right now, I’m just […]
Thoughts from Harvard Square & next steps
Last night I was forced to leave the Wheel in Harvard Square overnight. I just couldn’t get anyone to help me load it onto the van I’m renting. I lost some sleep worrying that someone might steal it. This morning, walking in, I rounded the corner and… I didn’t see it. Wheel Questions was gone. […]
