2006 is starting out not unsimilar to the way that I spent most of 2005, meaning that I will be down in Florida and Texas working on the F-35 JSF project. I will be gone most of January, except maybe for a weekend return home in the middle of the schedule somewhere.
I am willing to spend about a half day with someone here at our house on Tuesday, Jan 3rd in order to provide enough of a tutorial in the field of acoustical engineering and sound reinforcement system design in order to ask intelligent questions of the cc expert. I am quite confident that we can trip him up unless he is really very good and thorough in his analysis. I am available up until around 3:00 PM on that Tuesday to facilitate this.
It would be good if the volunteer had some technical inclination in any of the following areas of endeavour:
Mathematics Physics Engineering
If nobody has any background in the abovementioned fields, perhaps someone just has a very good mechanical inclination. At any rate, I can work with the program - - - willing to teach anyone willing to spend the time to learn enough to be dangerous to ire-land and company.
So, please just let me know if you are interested in learning a little about this field - - - enough to shake up cc a bit.
Yes, I did think about sitting down with my wife on this. That would not work as she has almost zero technical inclination in these sorts of affairs. Her field was pharmaceutical science which is pretty far afield.
I have not heard from anyone thus far (Monday, 02 January). The offer stands, but I really need to hear from someone tonight. Be not afraid; I do not bite, nor does the field of audio engineering or acoustics. I am very good at making complicated topics very easy to understand, or so I am told (taught "Radiation Physics for Nuclear Medicine" for several years in St. Barnabas Med Ctr's Interns program). Call at 973-316-9111. I am flying to TX early Wednesday morning so will not be available thereafter for about a month.
Well, it is Tuesday @ 10:30 AM and I have heard nothing from anyone. Obviously, nobody is interested in this. Since the township is not going to hire an expert in audio engineering or acoustics, and nobody in town seems to want to learn anything about this subject, I guess that you folks are just going to have to trust whatever cc's expert tells you on the subject. I understand; after all an expert would have cost a few grand and certainly you would not want to induce that debit on the good taxpayers of RT. Furthermore, all of cc's witnesses have been so accurate, honest and reliable thus far, why start a history of mistrust between RT and cc now? After all, RT is going to have to learn to peacefully co-exist with cc and its gigacenter and other real estate development projects for a very long time to come.
