EEVblog awards!
« on: April 10, 2012, 11:52:32 am »
Hi, I'm new on the forum, but i've been watching Dave for 6 months or so.

I've got an idea for EEVblog awards for ex.:the best multimeter award, the best oscilloscope award, the fail of the year award and so on. Dave could present like some silly little trophy of a chip or like in Top Gear the Golden Cock :D What do you think?

Greetings from Poland!

You watch TG too ? That idea never came to my mind !
Absolutely the awards (like TG) should have some comedy
Like ,
Most Power Hungry In Sleep Thing
The nominations are :
Lousy EI Core Transformer
Etc...
Etc...
But the winner is :
IT'S THE AGILENT INFINIVISION DSOX SERIES !

Yeah, sure. Something like that :D

Dave could just show us the trophy and the winning company wouldn't even see it :)

I was thinking about having an EEVblog Cool Wall.
But it's not that easy to rate stuff in that way...

Giving out awards, complete with badge and all that is so '90th. Remember the times when the web was young and every kid wanted to score free hardware or games by giving out awards?

"Dave's Giant Pile o'Crap" -- actually, no, I'm not sure I want to see that on video...

"Don't turn it on.  Take it apart."

I believe it would have to be a golden screwdriver.

Oh It's dead easy to rate things, just impossible to get a consensus. Leave well alone is my advice. ;)

Allow me to suggest the "Wall of Shame", a wall, perhaps with shelves, far removed from wherever real work is performed, prominently displaying products that just plumb fail to measure up.... or measure anything at all, for that matter!  ;D
