Apparently, Yamaha has been developing a new MIDI instrument called the Tenori-On. Here's an overall demo video that shows many of the awesome functions of this device: Now, it's finally commercially available. one sold on ebay just recently for $1202 or so. Guess what I want for $gift_giving_holiday? Here's the music video for Simian Mobile Disco's Hustler: Sexy chicks are soon introduced to food, with interesting results. Warning: nearly NSFW. Visually and audially delightful. (tenori-on via infosthetics)

The most compelling fiction, science or otherwise, often depicts a breakdown of society. Here's a list of 50 dystopian movies some of which are actually good! My personal favorites are Equilibrium, A Scanner Darkly, Akira and Dark City. Some other movies on the list are also quite good, but don't deserve a special mention. Here's a video of some Soviet soldiers dancing what looks to me like Kaзaчoк. My plan to become a cyborg is one step closer with a Japanese-developed system that reads EEG signals and directs an avatar in Second Life. Here's a video of this in action. They don't seem to have turning quite down, but this is quite good for a totally non-invasive system!

While I slowly write more abstract and long posts, I decided I can have smaller posts with links and reccomendations and such. This is the first, we'll see if the habit sticks. A post on one of my favourite computer scince blogs about speeding up integer arithmetic using fractals should show you they're good for stuff other than just pretty pictures (and he also has a previous post on the subject). Ever wanted to extract some DNA at a party? Or from just about anything using household items? Well, now you can. Who said Kuro5hin was dead? Most of my food is eaten as packed lunches, what better way to increase meal satisfaction than applying the Japanese Bento ("boxed lunch") aesthetic. But what if buying lacquered cherry woodg boxes ain't your thing? don't despair, you can still have pretty and mobile food on the cheap. If that didn't quite pique your interest head over to the ultimate bento blog for incredible pictures and recipes. Like one of my favourite blogs, Marginal Revolution, I intend to talk about things that I think are under-appreciated, and not just add momentum to the meme juggernauts. Hope you'll enjoy it.
