Experiments is where I plan to put things that really don't fit into any catigory. I hope you dig them.

Audio site - Col. Jack

Jack McClure was my grandfather, and he was the county agent for the Univeristy of Kentucky in Davis Co. Kentucky from the 1920s until the late 1960s. his job was basically to teach farmers in his jurisdiction about how to use modern agracultural techniques. One way he spread the information was via a radio program he did every week.

My father found some old reel-to-reel tapes of his broadcasts, as well as one of his retirnement dinner in a box of stuff, so I digitized them, and posted them online. The quality is not great, and the subject matter is not very exciting, but for me it is a treat to hear his voice.

Audio site - The Lion of Whitehall

In the same box of tapes was a recording of a LP made of a speech told about Cassius Clay, (not the Muhommid Ali, but instead the Abolutionist.) The speeker is a really good story teller, and it is too bad that the tape was in such bad shape, but it is a fun listen. (lots of fights, and crazy hijinks - the best kind of history.)

Social site - Xmas

For christmas a cople of years ago I organized a group of frineds to do a holiday sketch project. Baically each person was secretly assigned another person to draw, and then on Dec 25th the site went live were everyone could see the results.

Programming - Star distance calculator

This was a tool created to help me with another project I was working on, and it was a way of setting a maximum limit and then seeing how many stars feel with that range. (say if you had a rocketship that had a limited range, and needed to see what other systems you could make it too.) Queenie did the coding for me on this vanity project, and generally is a kick ass programmer. (unlike me- I kind of suck)

Web 3D - Hyades Star Cluster in 3D.

Another stellar cartagrophy project, kind of gimped now, becasue the Cult3D plug in I used for it is a separate install, and you may not want to install that, just to see some dots rotate when you drag them around.
