Life is a song, so is your web site with CodeOrgan

What is Code Organ?
The Code Organ analyzes the ‘body’ content of any web page and translates that content into music. The Codeorgan uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synth style and drum pattern most appropriate to the page content.
Firstly, the Code Organ scans the page contents and removes all characters not found in the musical scale (A to G), and then analyzes the remaining characters to find the most commonly used “note”. If this is an even number the page is translated to the major pentatonic scale of that particular note, it becomes minor if there is an uneven number.
Secondly, The Code Organ defines which synthesizers to use. This is based on the total number of characters used on the web page – There are currently 10 synthesizer effects and the one that is picked based upon the percentage of content.
Lastly, The Core Organ selects a drum loop based upon the ratio of characters on the page versus the number of characters that are actually music notes – There are currently 10 different drum loops to pick from.
TRANSLATION:
The web site takes a URL that you provide. It scans it. It matches the text characters to a music scale, cuts out the characters that doesn’t match to a musical note. Takes what’s left, lines it up, processes a mathematical equation that would make Einstein go “huh?” and then produced music with several pre-recorded looped beats.

LG Serie 1 – Retro Classic TV
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 | Geek, Painted Purple | 1 Comment
I love when retro is in, as I love retro. I prefer the real deal. I would rather buy a coffee table or piece of home decor that was made in lets say, the 50’s rather then buy a reproduction. However now and then something retro comes out that makes me drool. This is one of those things. To bad its only available in Korea and costs 249,000 KRW (around $216 USD). It would probably cost even more to ship it over here.
The TV features a 14-inch screen, rabbit-ear antennae, chrome legs, an old fashioned knobs to change the channel and adjust the volume. No worries, if charm of flipping through channels the old way wears of, it comes with a wireless remote.
Now here is the coolest part. You can chose from three different color modes. Color, black & white or sepia tone.

I’d wear it: Super Mario Brothers Sweater Vest

“Knitting stitches are basically pixels, right? I took that idea to the extreme, and converted a screenshot of Level 1-1 from the original NES Mario Bros. game into a ginormous knitting chart made up of over 10 sheets of tabloid paper taped together, which I used to make a sweater vest for my video game-loving husband.” – Source
