Alternative Sciences

No commentsA new phenomenon is sweeping the country, gaining the attention of both consumers and manufacturers alike. Increasingly disenchanted with the cold metallic world our modern technology is producing, people are beginning to take a close look at more natural alternatives. Collectively called Alternative Engineering (AE), a host of new and old methods are gaining scientific respectability.
Alec Waterston is one such self-styled alternative engineer. He has no degree or formal training in engineering, which he explains is an advantage: “I am not limited in my thinking by mathematics or logic. I do not have to pay homage to the likes of Newton or other western male pedagogues. My complete lack of training frees me to consider unique and innovative solutions to engineering problems, unfettered by the annoying constraints of ‘reality’.”
CMAT
Another year, another CMAT pulled out of impending doom and disaster. And I have pics to prove it! I apologize for the pictures taken inside the Haas Pavilion, the lighting just sucks in there and I didn’t know what to do about it yet. I have the RAWs saved if anyone wants to suggest some approaches to tweaking them, but I think the lighting inside just kinda drains the color palette.
