Ig Nobel prizes moving to Europe because US 'unsafe' to visit The awards, which celebrate the sillier side of science, have held raucous ceremonies that see the winners showered with paper aeroplanes at universities in Massachusetts since 1991. The 36th edition will be held in the Swiss city of Zurich on September 3.

The Chicago Bean, officially known as Cloud Gate, is a large stainless steel sculpture located in Millennium Park. Designed by artist Anish Kapoor, it reflects the city's skyline and is a popular attraction for visitors.

Marks & Sparks looks awfully downmarket there. I guess they keep the really nice ones in England 😜
Once bought a brolly from the store in Montreal in the late 70's when they still had stores in Canada, nice store and the brolly lasted for years πŸ˜‰

Sounds interesting (pun intended).
My Father taught product design at UIC and was a graduate of the early ID "New Bauhaus" school.
I taught "Sound Synthesis and Acoustics" at SAIC in the late 80's under Bob Snyder, author of "Music and Memory".
I worked in advertising music prior to that, psyop/UX πŸ˜‰

I used to regularly align Studer 24 tracks and can't say I miss that as well. If folks understood all the convoluted steps needed to record decent analog by us engineers they might think again

They get less "wild" every year it seems. Here in West
Michigan I often come across them in my front yard and on my walks on the country roads nearby. Sadly see them up close too often as roadkill ☹️

As a former professional audio engineer and chemical photographer from the 20th century I have to disagree. Vinyl is stupid, most was mastered from tape with far more dynamic range. Modern digital audio is much higher fidelity in it's pro form, it's mp3's that suck!
Same with film, don't miss mess πŸ˜‰

Fender was trying a lot of goofy wiring/pup arrangements around this time.
There was an authorized Fender repair shop in Chicago back then that also had a retail counter that sold factory overstock parts and I actually scored a few wired pickguards similar to this, long gone now πŸ˜‰
