Lego Dulcimer

[xela]

Peter Alway plays his Lego dulcimer.

I heard about this on NPR and had to chase down the details, including instructions for making your own.

Is this not cool?

Yeah, this just crashed my Safari. Suck.

LJ-cut tag?

I have replaced the aol url with an ln-s.net url pointing to it.
Pats self on back for clever kluge.

Yes, well, that's not the part that kareila was referring to -- the embedded image, which appears on her friends page, uses an ftp:// url and still crashes Safari. Neat kludge, though.

Oh. I'm pretty sure I sucessfully looked at the entry in Safari. Anyway, that's fixed now too.

Hey, That's me!

I've seen that ftp-ization of http URL's other times in LJ links. I think it did happen when was referring to images or pages on AOL, but I figured it was an LJ weirdness, rather than an AOL weirdness. I reached the point where if I put a URL in a tag on my LJ, I also add the URL by itself. So for instance I'd link to my Lego Dulcimer page just by posting the URL by itself:

http://members.aol.com/petealway/Lego-dulcimer.htm

And that should work fine.

OK, I confess I was doing a vanity Google search of "lego dulcimer" today just to see how it had propogated around. I'm glad you and a couple of your LJ freinds found it amusing.
