Oh boy this beats building speakers into concrete pipes like my brother did or building sand filled corner enclosures like Stan and I did. This guy is SERIOUS about speakers he excavated a hole 1 metre deep and made a horn 9.5 metres long custom3

That some audio system! Pity the neighbours

Typed his name into google and up pops this, on a comments site:-

Khans Island Sauce-Feedback: “Good day Sales, this Mr raphael smith , i will liike to place an order from your store and also i want to let you know that am whole saler in my country so i want you to give a best price and here all the items below Item #00020 40 pieces so i want you to total all the cost with shipment US Express Mail service so that i can email you my credit card data shipping address is 19 amu street,mushin,lagos,23401,Nigeria and the phone number is 2348033971788 Mr Raphael smith”

Strange how a guy can be interested in hot chilli sauce and stepper motor controllers! wonder what the scam is!

Spoken English – FreeCultureGreat WIKI of Lawrence Lessig’s Free Culture book including MP3’s . The nbook is very very good especially the stories about FM radio and the Phonograph with a really good bit about how photography would never have taken off if you had to get the permission of the person who owned the scene you wanted to photograph (Like me getting stopped for taking a photo of Attila Csörgö work in Kettles Yard yesterday)
