Where's the beer slot?

[brookefox]

Stemmed beer mugs are the latest, man.

i'd think moving that slot out closer to the end of the armrest would be better, more room for arm resting... and all.

As a dedicated wino, I love em.

A brilliant idea, but I apologize for the link to one of the single worst websites I have ever witnessed. http://www.nieuweheren.com

If you live in a mouse-less world, then you won't get this.
(Apparently Sarah Dery did this as a student work, and I couldn't find a link to a website on her.)

The Princeton Bridge

I don't know any of the particulars of this bridge in London, only that I like it. ('The Shard'- Renzo Piano in the background.)

It's called the Millenium Bridge, and they initially got the design wrong

They fixed the problem (see below), and now it's a London landmark.

For the mathematically inclined:

The conclusion of the study:

"The introduction of damping by a combination of frame-mounted viscous dampers and tuned-mass vibration absorbers has cured the London Millennium Bridge’s famous wobble. It was caused by synchronous lateral excitation from pedestrians, a phenomenon that was not well-known at the time but for which there is now a good understanding and good data."
