...most challenging demonstrations for Rueckner lies in the area of quantum mechanics. In the "single photon interference demo," the team sends single photons, one at a time, through slits in a screen. Even though the photons are sent sequentially, students watch the interference patterns as they are projected onto a screen. The result is "completely mind boggling," says Rueckner, but a visual demonstration, rather than a classical explanation, aids the students' understanding...
John Allanbrook first heard Ethan Frome fragmentally on a demo tape his father had recorded in the '50s. After hearing the tape and reading the score, Allanbrook Jr. became convinced, that "it was a good piece and meant to be preformed." Ethan Frome is hardly a simple musical undertaking, demanding not only a well-appointed string section, but also a full brass section, concert bassoon, bass clarinet. English horn and piccolo. After informing his father of his production plans, Allanbrook Jr. spent 12-hour days throughout the summer entering the score into the computer program Finale in order to produce...
...While I am no Leonard Bernstein, I believe I have a fairly discerning ear. And that ear could hardly tell the difference between the Altec-Lansings and the no-brand speaker that comes on most laptops. I'm not sure, really, who'd use them; the sound on my demo model was too low-fidelity (and the volume just too low, even cranked up to high) for the PC to pass as a CD player...
...praise continues. One of my boys wrote me an e-mail message from upstate Massachussetts specifically to confess his amazement: "Yo this LP is ridiculous. Every track is plain dope. The beats are phat, the lyrics are intelligent, and yet it still has the feel of a demo." To this day I wonder how he managed to italicize using Pine...
That colorful whistle from HUPD, although an undeniably hip fashion accessory, might not protect you all that well from any of the sketchy people in the Science Center computer lab at 2 a.m. Watch and learn as masters of self defense perform a Kung Fu demo. Soon you'll be kicking ass like the pros...
