The name "Modern Media Barn" was carefully selected because it reflects the way I feel about technology. The barn motif is not about being cheap or dumb. Rather, I demand that the systems serve us without us serving them. They must be strong enough to be left alone without much care.

I believe communication technology must become very common before it can become useful. We should NOT take a reverent view of the systems, else we will never view them in a realistic light. Technology systems that will be successful must capable of being abused, folded, spindled, and mutilated and still be useful.

The barn is used as an ongoing resource, a storage closet, and a communication center. It supports my activities and those of of my research partners and students. Do not expect more of it than that.

Don't expect me to clean this place up.
