In "mentioning a final trait in the style of contemporary life whose rationalistic character clearly betrays the influence of money," writes Georg Simmel, "by and large, one may characterize the intellectual functions that are used at present in coping with the world and in regulating both individual and social relations as calculative functions."

Greg Lynn came to give a lecture at cal poly-SLO and I have to say, it was very funny and very inspiring. I think I had pulled an all nighter and the night before maybe got 2 hrs of sleep (he came at the very end of the quarter) and I was still awake through 1.5 out of his 2 hr lecture.

you are very welcome. please enjoy the other lectures as well. you might eventually like lebbeus woods - the complete lecture is on its way. we are a rather small school though so it might take some time. thank you.

thank you for the comment. i am listening to the expressions of youtube. the improved soundsystem - wireless sennheiser microphones - is already budgeted. the recording quality of the old lectures and archives will be difficult to improve though. thank you.

great! but how about introducing a halfway normal okay soundsystem? that is propably asking for the impossible european dream! thinking is necessary, so we will never get it!
