Oh this is very nice. I just came across this geek hack that plays the Super Mario tune using the stepper motor of a laser cutter. Now they actually use both axis. One for the tune the other for the bass parts. A truly amazing hack found through hackday.com. Even the ruby source code is available through the link.
Now here is a piece of remarkable news: Antarctic ice is growing on some parts and not melting. And I thought the Al Gore “inconvenient truth” ‘awareness’ program was just a load of bullshit. But now that the ice is growing around Antarctica I have to confess that Gore at least created some awareness amongst the ice itself. The Antarctic ice clearly got the message and now stops melting and is even recruiting happy little crystallized friends.
Or could this have anything to do with the all time low in solar activity? Hell no! What am I talking about? That is not true because Al Gore says so. My mistake. Way to go Al Gore! Now do a campaign on the financial crisis… How about “an expensive truth”? The vaporized money will come to its senses and will materialize again. Go for it man! You have my full support for you speak the truth and nothing but your convenient truth.
