Take a minute out of your sunny friday afternoon to listen to Dan Bull‘s serenade to the NHS and the ridiculously catchy rhythmic critique of the proposed changes to the system by Sean “NxtGen” Donnelly (who is hoping to get the tune to number one when it’s released). Three cheers for political rap!
No, it’s an interactive concept piece by @RizMC. It’s an interesting idea, not your bog standard promo jobby. It’s worth a glance if you’ve got fifteen minutes to burn. It’s a bit tedious to start with but I rather enjoyed the ending. Be warned though, it does not work in internet explorer, not even the latest version. I used chrome. Also, don’t go near it if you’re offended by psychobabble, or having your time wasted as it leaves you feeling like a cross between Pavlov’s dog, Skinner’s Rat and Schrödinger’s Cat. Do it and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.
…Okay, okay, it’s not the stuff of legends but it’s a step forward from “fucking magnets, how do they work?“
I came across this a little while ago and thought it was worth reposting now that I’m geek enough to have my own blog. It is a piece of code that takes an MP3 file and for each beat it stretches the duration of the first half while shrinking the duration of the second half giving an awesome ”swing” like effect. The genius is in it’s simplicity.

Here’s one I prepared earlier…
