    Well, it's not the book on car audio that someone was asking about on another forum... but it's getting there. :D

    I redesigned my website once again, organizing it more logically, and added some new sections to it.

    http://www.betteraudio.com/geolemon/

    If you haven't seen it before... this website was built for a few purposes:
    1) explain various car audio topics so that I wouldn't have to type so damn much on all the forums.
    2) document projects and experiments for when I come up with off-the-wall ideas, and no one else has tried them before me, and I want to see the results.
    3) document other aspects of my life that have ties to car audio.

    It's evolved over the years-
    The articles on car audio topics are really meant for aspiring enthusiasts - you don't start out in car audio knowing everything... in fact, probably precious little that can truly help you plan a good system.
    It's also because it's often an eyebrow-raiser seeing certain myths being perpetuated by people who are supposedly not newbies, and often with regard to something that's really fundamental.

    So, these articles are both to educate on very fundamental things (that often don't get much, if any discussion otherwise!), or else to debunk myths...
    ..but always, to explain "why". :detective: That's the most important part, IMO.

    I've actually got some more webpages out there, like this one, that I don't have linked from this main page... I'll be figuring out where all those go soon, stay tuned for updates.
    :bag:

    Anyway, there's my public service for the day. :)

    Aye.


    Now I have something to do tomorrow while I wait for a certain someone :) Think that getting into a car audio mood is a good idea before a date though?

    Thanks!

    Most of it you've all seen before, I'm sure.
    I've got a few new things in the works, not quite up yet, so pardon the "under construction" pages. :blush:

    Well, if you have any ideas, specifically - things that you said "man, I have to write about this!", let me know, if you aren't going to..
    Maybe I'll be intrigued to write something about it like you were!

    Links are always helpfull.

    Another thing i'd love to see... is more people taking internal pictures of amplifiers.
    Like this guy- http://arawndark.netfirms.com/


    Geo, its good work. It needed to be done too, you had alot of different stuff spread out on your different pages. Good to get it condensed.
    One thing i noticed recently, was your install photos... you host em on yahoo? The bandwidth was exceeded and as i was showing someone your trick stuff, we ended up with nada.

    IF you can't stick your photos on BetterAudio's server... i can help you resolve photo hosting and bandwidth issues for free.

    I can also help you with your graphics, as previously offered. It's what we do man.

    I have my pictures hosted on better audio's server, for the most part.
    The only exception is my "scrapbook" link, which just links to a part of my old geocities website... which is now owned by Yahoo.

    Geocities is how my nick, geolemon came to be. ;)

    The only prob with geocities/yahoo is they have a bandwidth limit.
    As such, when you go and post about your site, that limit gets maxxed quick.
    If ya duplicate the images from the scrapbook onto the BA server, the B/W limits won't be an issue. Then your scrapbook visitors won't get "locked out"... so to speak.

    yeah, I've thought about that in the past..
    It's sort of one of those "one of these days..." sort of things. :D

    I'm not taking credit for that web site... at least the front end.
    I'm not personally a fan either..
    But we'll update it soon, I'm sure.

    If anything, I need help making the cutsie little graphics, like Michael has for the top of this site, and Seth's site.

    You know me.... I want to learn how to DIY them, but I don't have the experience at this point. :(
