Friday Fun Link – It Don't Mean A Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing (May 22, 2010)

“The Swinger is a bit of python code that takes any song and makes it swing.  It does this be taking each beat and time-stretching the first half of each beat while time-shrinking the second half.  It has quite a magical effect.”The Swinger(via MetaFilter)

Happy Third Birthday, Pace!

Stupid YouTube blocked the audio on this stupid video because I used a stupid Oasis song as the backing track.  So there was a bit of a delay (which you might not even notice since I'm backdating this post to May 19 when the video was supposed to go up, dagnabit!) so I could get […]

Friday Fun Link – Bokomaten (May 14, 2010)

More Facebook Fallout

[Edit: A sample of the growing Facebook backlash from across the web.] I recently wrote about the backlash against Facebook for the increased loosening of their privacy controls.  Between that, their arbitrary movement of your profile information to suit their needs, security holes in their chat and Instant Personalization program and the increased whispers about […]
