Our friend Ang came to stay overnight on her way to Ross-on-Wye, so we took the opportunity to watch our latest LoveFilm delivery with her - Man on Wire, the story of Philippe Petit and his walk across a wire between the twin towers of the world trade centre.
Philippe Petit is undoubtedly one of those people you would put in the class of a genius - with the kind of mental imbalance you might expect from someone of his kind - and it was fascinating to see the difference between how his friends were treated (friends, without whom, his illegal stunt would never have happened, and who were immediately deported from the country), and how quickly Philippe's celebrity status meant he escaped charges and went on to live a comfortable life in America.
What a bizarre world we live in.
A wire is taped to the top of each aluminum tape pad and soldered to a cable wire. The guitar string is wedged in a slot on the PVC tube. The string is soldered to a cable wire. When struck, the string contacts a pad, closing an electric circuit, triggering a drum sound.
For some reason, they installed the fiber in the closet where there are no outlets. The guy had to run wires from the closet to the bedroom.

I haven't been on the wired blog for almost four years. Oddly enough
their geekdad segment picked up a story on our papercrete battery room.
