I love science fiction and there was a show on last year called Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. This was an amazing tv show full of great characters, emotion, story, robots, and MUSIC. Like all good things, it got canceled.
so here is my version of the theme song!
Since Tony posted about 'twitting' to learn more about music, I thought I'd thrown in another technology bit. On Facebook, you can become a fan of Musser Mallets and they put up a bi-weekly fun fact about their instruments. This picture and comment were this week's fun fact.
How can you make a note or notes get louder while they are ringing out?

I was lost on the internet and came across these quotes from Bobby Hutcherson on this website:

Quotes by Bobby Hutcherson
James Whiting posted a real pretty piece where he manually rotated the fan blades. Dr. Bob commented that he would like a crank on the side to override the motor and have the blades pop back to the open position. That made me wonder what I could make from things around the house to do that. Here is the result. I used a 7.5" Jumbo Rubber Band, Spring-type door stopper, shim, and a quick clamp. I screwed the door stopper into the shim and clamped it to the vibes. I replaced the original belt with the rubber band, gave it a twist so it would stay around the door stop.
