Electronics Forum / Basics / July 2008A Mid Summer's Contraption Invention Convention
As fun as the Woody Allen movie.

Nick Bottom, a stage-struck weaver, is spotted by Puck, who transforms his head into that of an a.s (donkey). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midsummer_Night's_Dream#Synopsis > > As fun as the Woody Allen movie. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > > -- Steinbeck > Do you have any links to whatever your talking about, or maybe a > little more of a description? Not unless you can download the Allen movie and _East of Eden_. The movie came flooding back with the electric tractor discussion. There's just something about kinematics in the summer on a farm that attracts / distracts guys like nothing else. That explains why there are so many funky looking farm impliments. Writers and women chuckle at it. Small children love it. What's even funnier is a lot of contraptions are still in use and seem to work reliably. I may suffer from this tendency more than anyone. Even a gate latch will sear itself in my mind more than any text or face or music.

Engineering design requires not only a *lot* of radical ideas, but the ability to evaluate the quantitative features and prectical/economical virtues of each; that a mighty sifting process. Then it requires the engineering skill to implement the best idea. And almost all the low-hanging fruit has been picked, by hundreds of years of amateur and professional thinkers. About the worst thing you can do here is fixate on a single idea in fields where you have little experience or talent. The opposite is more likely to work: brainstorm a lot of ideas about things you can actually understand. John > Literary and artistic creation are easier than engineering creation. Cite?

We all already know you make as much as a rock star. When are you going to take your moronic a.s over to another thread? I'm bored watching you make a fool of yourself. >> >> Literary and artistic creation are easier than engineering creation. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >I'm bored watching you make a fool of yourself. --- I find it mildly amusing that you follow that course with such wild abandon.

He already spent six seconds on that joke website! I guess he has absolutely nothing else to do, but play the plonked fool.

Well we know _you_ aren't going to do anything except dodge a question: Why are you clicking on posts you know will waste your time?

Nut jobs find all kind kinds of stuff amusing. When was the last time you commented on a tech issue? Or are you afraid you'll make a fool of yourself? Bret Cahill >> >> >> Literary and artistic creation are easier than engineering creation. >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >When was the last time you commented on a tech issue? --- Yesterday, but why would you care since you wouldn't have understood what was being discussed, anyway?
