[jlepps at pc.jaring.my]

On another subject, speaking of grand designs, take a look at this 
musical instrument:

Here's the story:

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between
the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School
of Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of

the machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa . Yes, farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up,
alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as
you can see, it was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
