Do you have a fever? One that can only be cured with… more cowbell? If that’s the case MoreCowbell.dj is that means to a cure. It’s a Flash app that inserts rhythmic cowbell and Chritopher Walken samples to your lame mp3. How’s it done? Well…
MoreCowbell.DJ is an application built using The Echo Nest Analyze API . Analyze API is a tool that enriches your software’s understanding of music. It uses a perceptual model of human listening to generate detailed XML descriptions of a song’s structure and musical content to power music applications with a much deeper musical understanding.
I’m not too sure what the hell that all means but who cares? It adds more cowbell!
Tomorrow will dawn a big day in the scientific community, let alone the world in general, when the switch is thrown to the massive Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator which will collide beams of protons. Once that happens one of two things will happen…
1. Science FTW! Scientists finally discover the ever elusive “God Particle”, which is the only elementary particle that has never been observed by science, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model of physics and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.
2. We’re Doomed! The high-energy particle collisions performed might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles. Kiss your ass goodbye!
Following in the footsteps of other Republicans, John McCain running mate Sarah Palin has her own action figure. Pictured above is the hotter of the two, the “Sarahnator” which comes dressed in a tomb raider outfit and is equipped with a leg holstered .45 handgun. This obviously will further perpetuate Palin as the current holder to the title of PILF.
If the Trasnformers kicked it old school in the year 2045, 100 years after WWII, they very well would look something like you find in the video here.
This is a pretty clever and humorous short animation. Its creator Vincent Chai developed it with every-day programs like Maya, Photoshop and After Effects. Pretty damned swank, and inspiring, if you ask me.
Variety reports that “Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster Ghostbusters franchise” and nerds around the world are all a twitter, as I myself am.
They go on to say:
The studio has set “The Office” co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
Studio would not comment on the development and has been mum on recent rumors that there was interest in making another installment of the franchise.
The scribes just wrote “Year One,” a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989. The close proximity between the writers and original Ghostbuster Ramis is evidence that the ghost chasers have sparked to the idea of returning.
