[Call Me Trimtab](http://www.bfi.org/Trimtab/callme.htm). I adore [R. Buckminster Fuller](http://www.bfi.org/introduction_to_bmf.htm). He's most famous (to the average person) for inventing the geodesic dome, but he was exactly the kind of person I try to be. His tombstone is inscribed with his guiding phrase, "Call me tribtab." The trimtab is a small moving extention of a ship's rudder. By moving the trimtab just a litlle bit, expending very little energy, the rudder is compelled to follow. And after the rudder, the ship. So changing something very small can change the course of something very large, like an aircraft carrier. Or society. Call me trimtab. A fellow has written [a one man show](http://www.bfi.org/history_mystery.htm) about R. Buckminster Fuller, and it's gotten rave reviews in California. I'd love to do it here sometime. I've finally gotten the contact information for the author, now I need to follow through. |
