Why? #1 - June 24, 2007


Why do I call my blog "The Pneumatic Rolling-Sphere Carrier Delusion"? It was the title of an 1889-1890 series of articles from Manufacturer and Builder Magazine. The author, Doctor P. H. Van der Weyde, was trying to explain -- well, it's hard to explain. Read an excerpt here:

When I saw the title of the article, my first reaction was that it would have been a good name for a psychedelic rock group. Psychedelic rock is not what it once was, so I thought I would use it as the title of my blog.
