Projection on Buildings

This is awesome. . . . Did I mention this is awesome?

Merry Thanksgiving from the Milkman, Breedles, Brekins, Kelroy, and Ahhson.

Top Gear Vietnam Special

One of the best things I've seen on TV, though make sure you have an hour and 15 minutes to kill. Also, I couldn't find a good embed, so here's a link.

For your listening pleasure

This is a funny death metal version of some mario music:



This is the music I wrote for Nixa's band this year in case you haven't heard it yet:

There's an app for ... air?

Wow. Kelly, maybe you can play off of this for some interactive feature in your iPhone games!

Interesting Animal Collective video

Well, I'm not sure who besides dad thinks my music isn't weird, so I'm mostly posting this for him.

Confirmed: R2-D2 Discovered in Star Trek

At last, here's the droid we were all looking for. In this frame you can clearly see R2-D2's cameo in JJ Abrams' Star Trek. This time there's absolutely no doubt about it: It's been confirmed by ILM.

Can you see him floating there, on the left, right below the huge arrow that I also missed when I saw the movie? That's obviously him, a fact that has been confirmed to me by one of the movie's sequence supervisors at Industrial Light & Magic—the same guy who said this previous sighting was just the shuttle.

Rock Band Voice Engine Tricked By Something Called a "Musical Instrument"

On one hand, what's happening here is very simple: Rock Band's singing feature just senses pitch, not words, so it's perfectly reasonable that a flute—or indeed almost any instrument—could do the trick. On the other? This is art.

The musical cosmos have been tilted out of balance for quite a while now, violently thrown askew sometime between when the first fake guitar rolled off an assembly line in China and the first time a child recognized the Beatles on the radio as "that song from my Xbox!"

Today, as we watch a young lady with a flute totally pass for a Very Serious Yelling Man with a facial tattoo, it feels like, in some small way, order has been restored.

Hiro made a Chrono Trigger joke!



I like hating on Heroes as much as everyone else nowadays, but this deserved some credit.

I Can Haz for Christmas ?

For about $20, this tiny HoverDrone will hover and flash its little lights. And then the dog will eat it.

Sorry, it's inevitable, as proven in the ThinkGeek demo video above.

ThinkGeek is billing this as the smallest hovering device they've ever sold, so there's that too.

Requires a handful of AA's and the controller has the ability to control two drones at once.

Besides, I need a new way to torture the cat.
