We have old time radio around ehre that I think public radio
gets on satellite feed. So I'm hearing the radio
shows I was not old enough to hear but remember the tv show
from real time.

There are discussions about lots of things on the net... more
piffle than is conceivable. I picked a topic like this that I have a basic interest in not so much because I can do a lot of building
but because I have an interest in the design process-- as art
and creativity. Sort of like kustom kars or motorcycles. These
last two are 'guy things' I have no personal experience with at all.
But the low rider thing fascinates me as an artistic expression.

Something similar in the way of a group build is being done
on the Full Range Driver forum with a cnc operator using the
designs of an audio engineer.

Women would like this stuff more if you took out of context
and put it on display in an art gallery. I sort of had this
experience at a show at the Calatrava-designed new space for
the Milwaukee Art Museum. We saw a display of craftsman projects
in wood and at that point I could expound on the work of
James Krenov and sound like a big shot.
