One of the many things we've learned in the course of this project is that you need to be prepared for whatever the Internet brings you. If you're at Gawker, that may be tips of a sartorial disaster in Anna Wintour's office, or the latest in the Domino sugar factory buzz at Gothamist, but in our case, it can be as simple as corrupted video.
Because this is, technically, a print project, we've focused our efforts there -- but we really wanted to make use of the Internet (blog to wit) along the way. Nevertheless, even the most noble causes can face hurdling blogs, ours in the form of 2 a.m. file corrupts. Our video file - half audio, half image - has been splintered by some imaging fiasco we can't fix overnight. If we were a full time blogging duo, of course, we'd have the time and resources (and presumably fast-learned know-how) to set all things right in the course of the day, but in our case, with limited resources, time, and energy -- not to mention full time jobs and a real story to write -- we've not been able to do the same.
We have the audio file as a podcast in itunes right now, but hopefully I'll find a way to embed it on the site later today if I can't totally resurrect the video. We'll also try to post our interview with Dean Sreenivasan separately. Look for more later... and our final project at the end of the day!
