Ed Vogel
Ed describes himself as "an aging punk who likes musical theater" and makes one-string pizza box guitars with kids at leonardosbasement.org ("fill the belly and ten fill the mind!"). He once bet he could make a transistor using late 19th century materials and built a device out of a photoconductive cell, a neon glow bulb, and a resistor. He's now working on a solar-powered adsorption ice machine and can't decide if he likes chocolate cake or brocolli more.Author of these Magazine Articles
