Predictably Irrational
I’ve known some of the points in this outline, but not all of them. Some are very enlightening. Well worth the read.
11:44 PMRockers to Press Obama on Music Torture
Are these musicians serious? If their music didn’t suck so hard, then it wouldn’t be able to be used as torture material. Try using Bach for music torture.
You just can’t do it.
The fact is, the average radio station tortures more innocent people with crappy music than any other torturous music provider. Next thing you know, machinists are going to be upset that the tools they make sometimes are used for things other than their intended purpose.
If you are a musician, and others using your music as torture offends you - stop making crap music.

With my knight rider lights complete, some have been asking me what’s next. While a few parts of the project were rather frustrating - overall, I rather enjoyed myself.
Another one of the things that has been thrown around is the fact that DDR pads that you purchase tend to die within about six months; and that we probably could do better. We always talk about crazy methods to detect steps - capacitive, lights, lasers, audio, magneto (just to name a few).
As you may have guessed, since I’ve mentioned it that means something has been done on it. How right you are! I picked up some carpet, padding, metal screen, and a few other items at the hardware store today. I intend to get started with them within the next few days. I am still working up a technique for reliably attaching wire to the screen panels I’ll be using.
