What's your favorite antique? Jun 25, 2008
That s why my favorite antiques are my collection of wind-up phonographs (Columbia, Victrola, Edison) and the records that they play. What s even more amazing is that the very oldest of records (around the turn of the last century) were all recorded in the presence of the artist - they would set up a bank of cylinders in a room, have the orchestra and singer do a performance, remove those records, load up a new set and have them do another performance, and so on.

Billionaire Inventors Mar 9, 2008
Over the door of the futuristic-looking building in Bath, England, where Dyson hopes to house his new school, could, perhaps, hang the words of an archetypical inventor-entrepreneur of an earlier age, Thomas Edison: "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.". Edison became a rich man thanks to his imagination's ability to transform "piles of junk" into products and businesses that didn't previously exist ... As an alternative inspirational motto for his new school, Dyson could... (Forbes)

The cult of Cornell Apr 22, 2007
Not to say it's only the cognoscenti who can't get enough of this "Edison of the ineffable," as the critic Carter Ratcliff has hailed him. Recent years have seen a flourishing Cornell cult spring up among writers and poets raring to channel his eldritch spirit into their own work, and the best gauge of his popular appeal is the steady stream of tribute volumes that champion him as an all-purpose muse for contemporary sensibilities: Among others, poet Charles Simic's recently reissued "Dime-Store...
