Theremins

October 6th, 2006

What is a theremin?
Basically, its the worlds first purely electronic musical instrument. Theremins are not new, they were used in the original Star Trek theme music to give that ‘other worldly’ sound. Theremins are ‘played’ by basically just waving your hands around them. They have been used in many recordings and by notables in music such as Jimmy Page and the Moody Blues.

PS3 Follies

July 18th, 2006

It’s not that unexpected, I guess, but people and getting trampled and shot in their quest for the new Sony Playstation 3. If you’re looking for one online, you could check out ebay, where they have sold (if the buyer really pays up) for as much as 9 or $10,000! YesAsia has the PS 3 available online for $899 (Japan version).
