Strange images
Q: What do the following images have in common?

A: They were all shown on the front page of the WFMU website — still our favorite free-form radio station. Every day a new image is featured and they most often relate in some way to music, sound, hearing, art, and technology. Sometimes the images are strange and weird, but always amusing in some way.
One day, I came across a post on the Make Blog on listening devices from the 1930s used in the pre-radar era for detection of airplanes. The photos of the acoustic equipment and the people using them are fascinating and quite ideal, I thought, for a place on the WFMU website. I recommended the images as candidates for the WFMU homepage to the WFMU webhamster — and thus you can now occasionally see photos of people wearing acoustic ‘radars’ when you go to the frontpage of WFMU (see the screen dump to the left).
UPDATE (2006-09-09): See all the WFMU images in the WFMU Picture of the Day Gallery.
