    That said, I support the idea of making JL create and juggle a new forum dedicated to design.
    What's to juggle?
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      dunno, but he always complains about creating new fora.

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        I like the Fuse Box forum and did not propose this new forum to replace it. I simply think a forum that focuses on Art, Design & Technology or vice versa would get some play. I find lots of cool things to share about all of the above but, it often gets lost when I post in the Back Fence.

          I don't really have a problem with the Snooze Box. I just think that, given what a fuss Jeff makes about making new fora, the Snooze Box was going to be predictably underused. It is fine, but it just doesn't get much traffic. I would support its elimination if that would make it easier to implement Tooblue's idea

                  I also love the Alexandre Charpentier dining room in the Musée d'Orsay ... it is mind boggling beautiful:

                    Where do I post stuff like this ... it's science but, also art:

                    http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...29%29&pid=2407

                    It's not always obvious what it is that scientists find beautiful about a graph, microscope slide, soil sample or some other aspect of their work. It just looks like numbers, blobs or dirt to the rest of us. But sometimes a scientific result or product is so visually appealing, anyone would want to hang it on their wall as art.

                      Decoding Western art's buried messages

                      Decoding Western art's buried messages

                      From the inscrutable prehistoric cave drawings inside the Chauvet Caves in Southern France to the abstract paintings of Jackson Pollock, artists have kept the intentions and significance of their work close to their chests.

                            Sad story.

                            http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19349921

                            One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                            Woot

                            I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.
