Hi everyone! Well huh. About 4 months ago Chevrolet contacted us saying they'd like to feature us in an add campaign called "Unexpected standouts" or something like that. We said "great!". So I wrote a bunch of stuff about us, mostly answering their questions, sent in a bunch of pictures of the team, and then asked to double check the copy of what they were actually going to send out. And then we never heard anything back.
Well, just today we found out the there's a giant Art Deco (?) version of *me* in the current Popular Mechanics with a few heavily edited quotes. Huh. The good news: it's great publicity. And some of the quotes aren't bad. And it points to our website! The bad news: they totally screwed up a couple of the facts. Most egregiously, they say "... first to push amateur rockets past Mach 1" which of course is stupidly wrong. The only claim we've ever made is that we might have been the first group to "push WiFi past Mach 1". That's a cringe-worthy error. This is why, for the record, you always ask to see the final copy on this kind of thing. I wanted to let you all know because it's good publicity, but please be ready for some backlash about their stupid mistake. See you tonight, Andrew -- ------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Greenberg Electrical and Computer Engineering Portland State University http://www.ece.pdx.edu/ a...@ece.pdx.edu C: 503.708.7711 ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ psas-team mailing list psas-team@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-team This list's membership is automatically generated from the memberships of the psas-airframe, psas-avionics, and psas-general mail lists.
