An idea for my house...

Post #6,071 by inthane-chan 8/21/01 12:08:09 PM Reply	An idea for my house... ...I'd like to soundproof the bedrooms, and have the bedroom windows totally shutterable, and then somehow generate the illusion of a nighttime sky on the ceiling, pre-humanity. Maybe pipe in some wilderness noises... Any ideas on the ceiling tech? "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

But a black-ish ceiling might have other effects - in daylight and any er future sale. Might want to try this out with a false ceiling first (hmmm illuminated pinholes with color, intensity to suit?) Or read the short story, The Veldt, author forgotten. Sci-ish fiction, for other ideas.. Cheers, A.

As far as the "blackish" ceiling goes - I was actually wondering about a "chromatic" ceiling of some sort - maybe some kind of plasma display or SOMETHING that you can do a dynamic display on. Electropigment? Does any of this stuff exist? "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

For what creature can resist the hordes of trampling man-animals come to visit the last smidgen of "wilderness?" Better to stay in our homes and simulate, and spare the outer world our poisonous touch, until we discover the miracle of self-masturbation through robotics - and thus remove ourselves from the gene pool entirely.
