    What else do you do when you build? —Chris Maddison
   Hey all, I was tinkering with my small assortment of elements in my bot factory earlier, and I realized it was quiet. So much so that it was deafening. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt many of us build with nothing else going on. After thinking about it (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: What else do you do when you build? —Allister McLaren
     (...) I can usually only do one thing at a time. When I build, I just build. I rarely put music on, although this is partly due to the fact that the rest of the family is asleep. I find that building consumes my attention completely and I hardly (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: What else do you do when you build? —Matt Hein
     (...) The theme I'm building to really doesn't dictate my music preferences, though. When I'm working with a design, or writing out my ideas, I usually do so to the beat of classical music, jazz and occasionally techno or hip-hop. (Which is the (...)

        Re: What else do you do when you build? —David Simmons
     Even if I did put some music on, it would quickly fade to white noise once my hands touch bricks. The world disappears and my sensation of time greatly distorted. I actually sweat rather heavily if I'm in the middle of a stimulating project (aren't (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: What else do you do when you build? —Stefan Garcia
     I listen to a local country station, or I watch History Channel (especially when I'm building weaponry of some sort :^) ). I find that the music lets me focus. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: What else do you do when you build? —David Laswell
     (...) Everything. Usually it's just TV/movies, but sometimes it's supplemented by internet/e-mail (yes, I do sometimes surf the internet while building, and I've even ). Rarely I'll just listen to music, and even more rarely I'll chat on the phone. (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: What else do you do when you build? —David Laswell
     (...) Whoops, that should have ended with something like "and I've even typed in some short e-mail replies while building". See what happens when I'm assaulted by horrible evil silence (right now the local FOX station is having major technical (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)

      "Xcalabur" <Xcalabur@rocketmail.com> wrote in message news:HHq7pp.qwz@lugnet.com... (...) I always have music on, the same sort no matter what I build: smooth-jazz, soul, funk, that sort of thing. And since the weekend, plenty of Barry White's (...)

        Re: What else do you do when you build? —Ronald Vallenduuk
   With the Lego in the attic, in a room without TV or computer there really isn't much else to do but put on some music. Genre usually depends on my mood and the time of day -or rather night. Could be Mahler, Madness, Metallica... Duq "Xcalabur" (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
