@RickiTarr @AirlockDoc Oooh! Storytime!

When I was a little Lana The Musician, one of my heroes was Yo-yo Ma. Growing up in a tiny little backwater town in Kansas, though, my only real contact with him were his albums. I would listen to them on rotation literally all day long in my pocket DiscMan. (That'll tell you how old I am!)

Well, one day I found out he was actually coming into town to play as the featured soloist with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. I was over the moon with excitement! I had been volunteering at WSO for the last couple of years, because they allowed you to sit in and listen to the symphony when you were done taking tickets and opening/closing doors. So I was determined to go usher for his performance.

The day came, and the house was packed. I could barely contain myself. Yo-yo was actually here! In the same building! Then disaster struck! Try as I might, I could not find an empty seat anywhere in the theatre!

One of the most dangerous thing about the church of capitalism is perhaps it can’t imagine anything *good* being free. It’s almost like profit replaced morality, reason, and humanity.

I randomly think about these things and it reminds me of the tragedy of Aaron Swartz… 😞

Levitation melting is a metallurgical technique that uses electromagnetic forces to suspend and melt materials, typically within a conical helical inductor, without any physical contact with crucibles.
