Sept 21 - The things I'm learning...

Just getting ready for this trip has been a real adventure.  I've been trying to create a way for me to have sound and video (including sheets on the windows if needed) to use in my music classes in Guinea. Since electricity is unreliable at best, I thought that rechargeable batteries for each component - and rechargeable batteries to use for everything - would work best.  Cinemin makes an UNBELIEVABLE miniature projector that is 2"x5" and will run for a little over 2 hours on a charge.  Projects video 6' wide!  Bose makes a portable speaker that should run for 5-6 hours.  I just hope I get there with all the right connections and the know-how to make everything work!
