So Color! Much Paint! Wow!

Wow, the colors in this place!

I kind of like it, except for the green bathroom. That's a little much in the wrong kind of way.

Technological Distraction

I love elegant technical solutions that exploit existing properties of systems in ways that were not planned by the system designers. I'm thinking about this because I'm playing an LP on a turntable with stroboscopic timing marks intended to work with AC mains frequency to allow you to precisely set the speed to 33 1/3 RPMs based on the number of dots around the platter and the frequency at which the lamp flashes.

(Maybe clocks that keep time using mains AC frequency probably predate this kind of stroboscopic turntable timing method? So you could argue that it's just an extension of using mains frequency for timing some arbitrary process rather than a whole-cloth invention.)

That kind of clever trickery just makes me really happy.

(No, I'm totally not avoiding doing my school work by drifting along with various tangents that pop up in my brain. Why do you ask?)
