Neato! Apparently this was the first computer ever to sing. And it even had speech in it. in 1961. Pretty cool. I wonder how much work that poor soul had to do to make a 1961 computer sing.

My God, Even They Think So
I don’t know why I’m up right now. Probably because I’m a total idiot. But I found this, and had to put both hands over my mouth to prevent myself from shrieking like a banshee. Someone has gotten cute, and smart, and has taken this song and has gotten a bunch of synths to sing …
>I Felt The Earth Move Under My Feet. Then It Told Me To Go Left.
>Remember I said something about vibrating shoes a couple of posts back? Honest, I wasn’t just making up random things. I really have a post about vibrating shoes, vibrating GPS shoes for the blind, in fact. Well, I guess the GPS is in an Android device, but the directions will get sent to an arduino, …

Ooo! Look At My Brand New Commodore 64!
You know what they say, everything comes back in style? Well, it’s true, even the commodore 64! Well, it looks like the old Commodore 64, but it has up to date technology in it. Can you imagine trying to run that old thing today? Just for fun, here are some Commodore 64 commercials from the …
#getyouricecoldbeerhere!
What a neat ideathisis, and I’m sure it’s exactly the sort of thing the smart tech people have in mind when they invent things. For the last 5 years, Kevin Zelko has been selling beer at Safeco Field. He normally does the walking up and down the stadium yelling for people’s attention thing, but now …

Surrounded By April Fools
I always knew that lots of April Fools entries get put up on news sites and blogs and stuff, but I guess I never went looking for them. Now that I’m on Twitter, they come to me, and boy were there a lot of them to do with blindness-related sites this year. There were two …
Some CSUN Goodness
I will say right here that I suck. Before that last little post, I hadn’t posted since March 16. Um, fail. I’ve been busy, but when has that ever stopped me before? It’s not like my computer was broken. I’ve just been made of suck and fail. But here are links to audio debuts of …
The Cozycast Is Finally Here!
Sorry this is going up so late, and sorry for the general neglect of this place over the last little while. Laziness, busyness, illness, hung overness and going out and having funness haven’t made for the best of reading lately. Hopefully things can start getting back to normal soon, but to hold you over until …
iBad…At Math…And Music…And Life…
I’m struggling to figure out who’s made of more fail inthis situation. Is it Hazem Sayed, the fellow who parted with $900 to buy Amanda Foote’s spot in an iPad 2 line (iPads cost around $500), or is it Amanda herself because she sat in the rain for nearly 2 days to make 300 bucks? …
