Icon dies: Michael Jackson passes away at 50


I would have posted this as a link, but the choices are pretty much every single news site (video, audio and web), blog, personal website and almost all the micro blogging sites are getting flooded.

In the UK we saw the concept of mass grief when Lady Diana, Princess of Wales passed away. I predict we are going to see something rather bigger here, probably the first (or at least the biggest so far) case of mass grief pandemic the world has ever seen.

RIP Michael Jackson. You will always be remembered for the music, the dance moves and the eccentricity.

Spectacular Coding Results


The first time I saw code that make shapes and colours respond in time to music was when my University friend (and Best Man) Ross showed me a plugin on his Mac that (I think) was from a software house called Cthulhu. These days iTunes and Windows Media Player have the same functionality only better, but how cool would it be to put a music visualisation across a whole building? Thanks to SwissMiss for the link:
