Why steelpan is more interesting than bowling

Bowling is all about one number: the final score. And great bowlers come whisker-close to hitting the perfect score regularly. Not enough dimentions for me to be fascinated by, and few people pay money to attend bowling matches.

 

Steelpan is practiced over a thousand or perhaps a million dimensions. It's non-linear and non-predictable, and most of all, it's never perfect.

 

And yet... when we get to work, most of us choose to bowl.
