0_0 what are you doing!

[mirrorsu]

I think this is very cool! you should keep developing this stuff!

[KeshaKennedy]

Miss you Amon!!!! I love this! :)

Actually not a single student pays for study at the media lab... the lab's sponsors pay into a consortia and the consortia pays tuition and a stipend to people who are in degree programs there ;) and although I agree with the gist of fitchmicah's comments, a lot of the students are EEngs... a few are physicists.... some are artists others are computer scientists etc. It's about diversity and creative thinking...

[fitchmicah]

i forgot to stick a "themselves" in there...

[fitchmicah]

maybe you don't understand the point of mit media labs. they aren't electrical engineers or physicists, they are coming up with unique ideas on how to implement technology and aren't limiting because you think that "only cretins think this is interesting."

[eurorail]

moronic crap. you should be ashamed of yourself playing a piano sample with a control voltage created by a resistor... only cretins think this is interesting. i was playing with control voltages when i was 8

[davidcapi]

can this be called useless thinking? not joking... for real

[JarvidO]

You should have made one long continuos note and make so that the resistance of the banana when its not being touched wouldn't a note. Assuming you can modify this on the software level.

not impressive.
