Music From Sand
This is amazing!
“Diego Stocco turned sandbags from his backyard into musical genius. The entire track is created entirely out of tuned sand tones. He emphasized the inner notes of the sand grains and mapped them on a sampler as a series of instruments.“

Poetry – why the semantic web is a lot like love
In case, like me, you never asked yourself if and what the semantic web and love could possibily have in common than there are big chances that a blog post by Scott Brinker well, … might make you laugh :-):
10. It means different things to different people.
9. Those in it can bore everyone else to death talking about it.
8. Cynics insist there’s no such thing.
7. It’s straightforward in theory, messy in practice.
6. A few misinterpreted words can really screw things up.
5. You can invest a lot and not get any return.
4. Some people claim it, but don’t really have it.
3. Some people have it, but don’t want to disclose it.
2. The more people involved, the more complicated it gets.
1. When it works, beautiful relationships are established.

Yesterday I recieved a notification that my “Personal Annual Report for 2008″ for my Dopplr account is available and awaiting my download – but until now I didn’t found time to actually have a look at it…
… only in order to learn:
- You [me] took 8 trips in 2008, which added
up to 43,602 km or 12% of the distance to the moon.- In 2008, you [me] spent 339 Day at Home [and] 27 travelling.
… resulting in:
Your personal velocity for 2008 was 4.97
km/h, which is about the same as a duck.
What’s your velocity?
