Acme School of Stuff
Over 15 or 16 years ago, this particular TV show was aired on TVOntario. It has a cool and interesting introduction and it is well known for Science and Technology. The show is called “Acme School of Stuff”. I stumbled upon this particular TV show when I saw a video on how subways work. Before “How it’s made”, “How do they do it”, “How’d they do that?” and one particular TV show that was aired on HGTV (it follows the same paths as the latter three, but I couldn’t remember what it is), this particular TV show gives us a close understanding on how things work.
“Acme School of Stuff” is hosted by a person named David Stringer and he’s lucky enough to host an official website about him and his accomplishments he had contributed over the years. His official site can be founded here: http://www.davidstringer.ca/
Also, there’s a youtube channel dedicating to the Acme School of Stuff: http://www.youtube.com/user/acmeschool
I’m still trying to find on how electronic signs\displays work from this particular series, but over time it’ll be on that particular channel….lol Anyways, enjoy the videos that are my favourites, especially that phreak615 should know how a Vinyl record works (if you want to refer to my blog posting on that, click here)!
