Sometimes someone does something…

so cool that it makes you and your accomplishments seem lame. [The audiopad](http://web.media.mit.edu/~jpatten/audiopad/index.php) is just such a project. James Patten and Ben Recht, graduate students at MIT, created this electronic music controller as a means of researching human computer interaction. It uses some cool technology to produce a rather stunning result. Watch the video linked at their website to find out.
Damn it, why does their Phd research get to be flashy and cool, and mine is so not flashy and I have to explain to people why its cool.
I saw a tv show about that a year or so ago, I think.
Yeah, that is the shit. And yeah, it does throw one’s own lack of cool accomplishments into rather high relief.
MIT kids get all the l33t.
Very cool, and I do think I have seen something about it on tv, a while back.
Anyway, it’s Champagne, stopping by to say hi!
