the DUCATI factory and museum VISIT!!!!!!!!!

This pic is an apt tangential and metaphorical commentary of a designer in one profession turning designer in another. To the right of me is a picture of Fabio Taglioni working his magic upon leaded pencil with foreground aparati in the days of old. Being a rather devout wirehead and one who early on shunned the paper and pen for the whisk of a mouse to do modeling of worlds not yet seen or understood (CAD modeling in the early days comprised itself of "rather basic" Euclidean form topologies at best!!!), I find myself fascinated at the level of achievement with such rudimentary tools. Then again, when eyes are closed and worlds are modeled beyond space time continuums which constrain normative gravitational pulls of muscles moved and electrical current flowed, this area of the museum simply reconfirms the notion that the mind has yet to be surpassed as the ultimate rendering engine of life's little ditties (including two cylinder little ditty thumpers)!

The road less traveled (much less at low speeds) does not exist in Italy. Note the white striped line in the middle of the Autostrada coming back from Bologne. Finally figured out that it really meant, "drive as you need to"! Gottah love those Italians. Fantastico. Click on the thumbnail image to do the dance.

Got questions...?...Got milk...?...send eMail to Jim Goodlett if you got either!!
