Does anyone know of people who've messed with "smart paper" displays, or with diy EL panels? That Tin-oxide conductive glass? With EL paint? I see the paint from 3M, and various sources of transparent conductor (even flexible plastic,) but I've never heard of anyone trying it. Maybe it's too dim for home-built use? > I definitely think there's value in the kernel of the idea of SH, but > there was always too much pie-in-the-sky dreams without any realistic > persepctive or an implementation plan. Another problem is personal schedule. For Weird Science Salon we were jumping from house to house, and trying various times. For us, saturdays didn't work: the attendence was low. Neither did daytime. "After Dinner" seemed to draw the biggest crowd. Sunday night wasn't bad, but really it only worked well on weekday nights, and we picked fridays because of various peoples' schedules. So, where did the "Saturday" come from? I hope it wasn't just a random, untested choice. I've always wondered if the "Saturday" was a serious drawback, while "thursdayhouse" (or whatever) would've consistently had major attendance. But a bit hard to ever change it, when "Saturday" is part of the name. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
