theIdeaMechanicKaren Taminger on EBF3Through one of my clients – Fuentek – I get to work with NASA scientists and engineers. I mean, these guys really are rocket scientists! How cool is that.
Electron Beam Free Form Fabrication (EBF3) is a technology that was jointly developed by NASA's Langley Research Center and Johnson Space Center. Some day this manufacturing process will allow space travelers to make any new or replacement part on demand.2018-03-2415 min
theIdeaMechanicNarrowband MOHThis audio was recorded from http://FreeConferenceCall.com, an audio conferencing service provider. The call connection was made with a Skype VoIP softphone using a G.729 narrowband codec. Hear how the audio sounds slightly "underwater"? Music played across a G.729 media stream will sound this way since this codec is tuned for human voice, not music. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.729 .2011-07-2101 min
theIdeaMechanicWideband MOHThis audio was recorded from http://FreeConferenceCallHD.com, a wideband audio conferencing service provider. The call connection was made with Blink, a SIP based VoIP softphone using a G.722 wideband codec. Listen to the clarity of the guitar and how there is almost no background noise. Music played across a G.722 media stream will sound really good, almost like you are in the same physical room. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.722 .2011-07-2101 min

theIdeaMechanicI'm on Skype - Rodney is calling me from the PSTNI've had a lot of people ask me about doing remote interviews using Skype. Skype is AWESOME. But here's a good example of why you want to get the other person to call you (you're on Skype) using Skype, and not call you from a cell phone or land line. The difference is amazing. Listen for yourself. Recording Skype-to-Skype gives you the same quality as doing studio-to-studio over an ISDN line.2011-06-1001 min
