Jambo lectures at UVA - remote

Yesterday we gave a talk at a UVA class on Entrepreneurship, and had a lot of fun. The interesting thing was that we were in Dallas when we gave the talk. We assembled a poor man’s teleportec, compliments of Skype Video, an isight/ibook and a roll of paper towels. We simply ran my isight cable through the paper towels for a makeshift tripod and then connected to the class via skype - we could see all the students and call on them if they raised their hand to ask a question. The professor on the other end, projected his laptop in the lecture hall so everyone could see us, and ran his audio through the classroom speakers. Here’s what the rig looked like on our end:
