Sooo cool

This is something that my brother showed me, and you’ll want to use headphones while listening.

Basically, its an experiment at improving audio quality and also how we perceive audio in general. In very layman’s terms: a dummy human head has very sensitive microphones in the locations of the ears. Those microphones then record whatever and complicated computer work synchronizes those 2 audio streams into being just one, that still plays in the stereo affect (ie: both ears simultaneously). This lets you get a “virtual” haircut.

If you want to read the full nitty-gritty details, the Wiki article appears fairly comprehensive in a quick scan. There’s also one that’s more specific to these recordings. Both have links to further recordings.

Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

So, ages ago (roughly 2 weeks actually), I created a basic post with no information and just 2 text links about Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

As a brief explanation, it is basically a video blog done by Dr. Horrible (played by Neil Patrick Harris), who wishes to join the Evil League of Evil. He ends up having complications (love interest, rival) on the way, shockingly of course. As probably also rather obvious, Dr. Horrible is a mad scientist.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was an interesting storyline and I thoroughly fell in love with the music. Doogie Howser sings!
