RTVF 141
I have finally completed my radio show with Phat. We did a mock interview about the SJSU budget cuts & how it has affected the school, especially the RTVF department. For our commercial, Phat managed to find a really old AOL commercial that we stuck in the middle. We also managed to over lay the commercial with some background Benny Hill music. My website is finally complete & is up & running live on the Internet. It has been a long & excruciatingly painful process, but I have managed to prevail in the end. It was well worth it. Check it out & I hope you enjoy it. Well, it has been fun entertaining you guys. Until then, this is Winston signing off. See y’all!

RTVF 141
I have finally completed my personal video & I have uploaded it on YouTube & I have uploaded it to my personal website which is already up & running live. Check it out & see for yourself. This has been a painful & excruciating ordeal. But it was well worth it in the end. The ordeal isn’t over though. I have one last mission to complete & that is the radio show. That is all for now. Good night everyone!

RTVF 141
Me, Phat, & Luisa have not decided what to do for our Audio Show yet. I want to stay within the confines of a commercial type of audio recording. I will pitch my idea to them & see what they have to say. Hopefully they will like it. If not, then I am all ears as to what they want to do. Wish me luck!

Script of Audio Commercial Clip
“Tired of those pesky robotic spiders spying on you, get the all new home made robotic spider trap kit. It will trap & kill all those pesky little creepy crawly eight legged freaks that constantly monitor your every move & eavesdrop on your every word. It’s very easy & simple to build. Just place the electronic component circuit board in the slot on the base plate, then place the 9 volt battery in the slot next to the component on the base plate, hook up the battery, & finally place the containment vessel cover on top & your robotic spider trap is ready. Robotic spider traps are practical & can be placed anywhere from wide open spaces to tight narrow corners. Don’t let your privacy be violated! Hurry & get your robotic spider trap for a limited time offer only! To order call 1-800-DIE-SPIDER. That’s 1-800-343-774337. Call now & you can get two for the price of one! Batteries not included & sold separately.”
I got the inspiration for this commercial from a robotic spider trap kit project that I am building in my Art 74 class. I was also inspired by many of the countless infomercials that I have seen while staying up late at night with the TV on blast for no apparent reason.

Home Made Robotic Spider Trap Building Instructions
To make a home made robotic spider trap, you will need the following:
• A 16 oz plastic cup which will act as the containment vessel.
• A plastic soda cup lid which will act as the base plate.
• A plastic straw cut into 4 pieces which will act as the component & battery holder.
• A working electronic component with 2 LED lights & a photocell.
• A 9 volt battery.
Step 1: Take the electronic component along with the 9 volt battery attached to it & place it on the soda cup lid base plate.
Step 2: Place 2 pieces of the straw on the soda cup lid base plate parallel to each other so that the battery fits in between. Place the component alongside the inner piece of straw & the other 2 pieces of straw at the top & bottom of the component.
Step 3: Glue all the straws in place onto the soda cup lid base plate so that they will hold the component & the battery in place.
Step 4: Cut out a small rectangular hole at the bottom of the plastic cup containment vessel & fold back. This will act as the trap door for the robotic spider.
Step 5: Glue the plastic cup containment vessel to the soda cup lid base plate.
Now your home made spider trap is complete.
It should look something like this.

Art 74
For my spider trap project, so far I have written up step by step how-to instructions on assembling my homemade spider trap kit from scratch with everyday materials that we use. So far all I have are the instructions. They will soon be followed by pictures to be uploaded soon. Here is what I have written so far:
To make a home made robotic spider trap, you will need the following:
A 16 oz plastic cup which will act as the containment vessel
A plastic soda cup lid which will act as the base plate cover
A 3” diameter cutout of a circular wooden board which will act as the base plate
A plastic straw cut into 4 pieces which will act as the component & battery holder
A working electronic component with 2 LED lights & a photocell
A 9 volt battery
Step 1: Take the electronic component along with the 9 volt battery attached to it & place it on the circular wooden base plate.
Step 2: Place 2 pieces of the straw parallel to each other so that the battery fits in between. Place the component alongside the inner piece of straw & the other 2 pieces of straw at the top & bottom of the component.
Step 3: Glue all the straws in place so that they will hold the component & the battery in place.
Step 4: Glue the circular wooden base plate to the plastic soda cup lid base plate cover.
Step 5: Cut out a small rectangular hole at the bottom of the plastic cup containment vessel & fold back. This will act as the trap door for the robotic spider.
Step 6: Glue the plastic cup containment vessel to the soda cup lid base plate cover. Now your home made spider trap is complete.
That is all for now, I will update you as soon as I can with photos to complement the instructions so that you get a better understanding of how to assemble your own homemade spider trap kit. Thank you for reading! Bye now!
