One of the coolest articles on sound and vibration I can recall having read


Steve Deckert over at Decware recently came up with a great read:

@toddverrone I’m fairly aware of the pitfalls of numerology and that, in this case, a minute could’ve been ordered certainly in a number of ways (but of course it wasn’t, antiquity settled on one, certainly), but I’m not at this point privy to the name of the book or books that Steve bases his article on, so I don’t really know what all he may or may not have oversimplified or may have included minus the original source’s corroboration for the sake of brevity. I simply elect for the moment to be respectful of his effort in bringing the subject to light for us in the first place...I myself can’t say for sure that he’s guilty of anything until he’s in my mind proven so, but I can’t say that reading his article has put me in a particularly suspicious mood. If anything, I’m more intrigued. Again, perhaps if I knew more directly about his source(s), I might be tempted to delve further to see for myself, but short of knowing what they were, I would likely have to initiate my own search and I’m badly short on time these days, so something like that for me that will easily have to go on the back burner for now.

I strolled through some reader reviews of erehwon and it looked to me like it might be perhaps a nice satirical exercise, but again, I’m having trouble getting through work weeks these days, so it will have to go on the same heap of things I don’t have time for right now, but hopefully will at some point, but I do in fact thank you for the pointers.

@ivan_nosnibor I’m not suggesting you read erewhon. I did and it sucked. But one of the secondary characters is Mr. Nosnibor. Just wondering where your playful user name came from..

I was just sceptical of the numerology intro. Otherwise, it started getting interesting just when I had to attend to other things. I’m intending to finish it tonight.. thanks for the share!
Indeed it is. I was just curious why his user name was Robinson backwards. I had a biology teacher in high school who loved backwards spelling. So now I see it instantly.. 
I thought it might be a good story..


No, not really..Robinson is my real name and it was just the first play on my name that came into my head, actually. Nosnibor sounded vaguely Russian to me, and my first name is John, so Ivan it became.
