Watch in HQ.

It's our project for an ecological perspectives class.
I know it's lame and we can't rap, but we tried.

Get this though - If we reach 10,000 hits (which is nearly impossible) by the end of summer, we get an automative A+ in the course.

Help me out!

lol, don't have time to watch it yet but i'll let it run for the +1 lol. Will watch it when I have time :P
Which one are you?

[dereklandon]

Haha thanks!
I'm the asian that obviously cannot rap.

Not bad, and you guys had good lyrics for the project. My only tip would be you guys got a little close to the mic sometimes and you could really hear the breathing. Other than that I'm not a critic, so well done.

[dereklandon]

Haha yah we had to get quite close because it was one of those mics that didn't pick up any background noise whatsoever.

And my buddy who mixed it, amped the volume way up so it sounds like you're playing it on blown speakers no matter what setup you're playing it on.

Thanks for the hits guys, I appreciate it.

I've been seeing videos for your class pop up on other forums too...

Good message, wish manufacturers made it easy for us to unplug stuff easily, hate trying to reach into dusty places to yank the cord.

You're at 222 view last I check, good luck.

ill just leave a auto refresher on it so you hit 10,000

Did i hear "environmental nookie"? LOL

That was actually very enjoyable. I won't be a thug and unplug.

[fini]

pretty cool.
but i think it begs the question... where is the "design" aspect?! lol

Did i hear "environmental nookie"? LOL


While affectionately gazing at a picture of David Suzuki no less... classic! That was my favourite part.

It was a little cheesey, but enjoyable none the less. Good job.

I agree if it was easier to unplug stuff I think I'd actually do it.

Thanks for all your comments guys!
Interesting how the other project videos are popping up.
I hope the profs nail the guy that's got 8400 hits in 3 days. He jumped 2000 in a single night.

Anyways, yah as for the design aspect, we opted not to do a community systems design where we would have to host public events and such. And the class is called ecological perspectives in design. I'm studying industrial design and they're just injecting sustainability into every corner of our study whether it be what materials we use or what our product is being designed for or how it's being made.

As for making things easier to unplug...
All you gotta do is grab a power bar or two and plug all of your stuff into that.
Then at night or when you head out, just flick off the one switch.
But keep things like your clock and your TV cable box plugged in directly to the wall so that it won't lose any of the saved information.

great video! I agree about the whole "unplugging" thing. It would be awesome if every electronic device had some sort of "CMOS Battery" type thing used in computers or or flash memory to store your settings (time, date etc).

Try linking it to a facebook site and get friends to pass it on
