Domes are cool and Bucky is cooler

So the sphere is the shape that encloses the most volume using the least amount of surface area. Cool. Cut one in half and you have a dome. I'd like to live in one, perhaps buried. Perhaps a concrete dome, or a geodesic dome. Not sure. But I like domes a lot and I made my first geodesic dome (2v Icosahedron hemisphere) using drinking straws i lifted from Wendy's and pins I bought in the dollar store. It holds together well and was an interesting experience.

Also, I'm reading Critical Path by Buckminster Fuller (Bucky) and it is so far a good read. I'll have to renew it before I can get through it though. Hey that rhymes.
