[Sci-tech-public] Victorian steam tour

[michael fischer]

Great pictures, David!  Also impressive is the sparkling cleanness of  
the machinery -- reminds me of the wonderful new Koch Technology  
Museum in Istanbul.  I love the idea of their makers being like our  
hackers.  It would make a wonderful informal colloquium or brown bag  
talk to show these pictures with some more elaboration of the  
incremental steps of hacking ideas and previous machines in order to  
create new ones, and the relation between hacking and macro modernist  
visions (as with the caption about the Brunel drawing re fast trains  
to London).
