Macgyver’d
I brought Guitar Hero 3 into CapStrat today, along with my PS2 and one guitar controller. After hooking it up to one of the widescreen monitors, Carson warned me that the audio input/output didn’t work on the monitor. Essentially, we needed to get the audio signal directly to the speakers, from two male RCAs to a standard miniplug. We found an adapter which would turn the miniplug into another two male RCAs, but that didn’t get us anywhere… So I cooked this up.

Using nothing but a paper clamp and the clip from a Pilot Uniball, I was able to get one channel going for Guitar Hero. Needless to say, I’m pretty happy with the solution… Because it was free and it works.
Capstrat, other things on the mind
I purposefully made this site really simple to update and maintain in the hopes that I’d actually do it. And if I actually do it, that means my goal of having a nice, updatable portfolio site approaches fruition. Anyway, a little about what’s going on in life right now:
I’ve got an internship going on at CapStrat. Mostly After Effects animation work with some Final Cut and other editing thrown in. I get to work with Carson Mataxis and Nathan Rittenhouse, the Dynamic Media team there, as well as Anson Burtch, the producer.
I’m also working at DELTA at NCSU as an Information Technology Specialist/Intern. Doing a lot of flash stuff over there, as well as video and sound editing, graphic design, hardware, whatever is needed.
