It feels very weird that the 80s are now considered ancient history to most high school students. That's was nearly half my life!]]>Jun 6th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/antiquated-hardware-used-to-masterfully-remix-radioheads-nude/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/antiquated-hardware-used-to-masterfully-remix-radioheads-nude/
The math isn't adding up, here. If you were in your low twenties (as indicated by your statement that the decade of the '80s, i.e., a period of ten years, was almost half your life) then that would put your birth in the middle of the '80s, that decade in which nearly half your life took place. This means that when you say that nearly half your life consisted of the '80s, you must mean that the latter half of the '80s made up half your life. This, of course, would have to mean that you are in fact not in your twenties at all, but are instead somewhere around ten years old. Which means that by your account of time, you are currently in the mid nineties, when the internet was just coming into public use, and are somehow communicating forward through over a dozen years of time with the denizens of 2008. Yet you have no idea that you are out of phase in space-time, or that you are looking at the gadgets of the future (to us, the present).
Or else, you have actually traveled through time yourself, and not merely communicated across a temporal barrier. Perhaps, for example, you really are in your twenties, and were born before the year 1980. You then skipped a period of about five to eight years sometime between 1990 and 2008, to end up in your low twenties now, despite being born at least twenty-eight years ago.

I'm sorry, I need to rest my mind...]]>Jun 6th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/antiquated-hardware-used-to-masterfully-remix-radioheads-nude/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/antiquated-hardware-used-to-masterfully-remix-radioheads-nude/

Thanks for the link! I dug deeper into the original articles and found the other videos of old computer hardware making music.

@Bill:

I've never actually heard that part of the drive referred to as a Voice Coil but the principles are very similar...

Makes perfect sense that it could be hacked into an impromptu speaker. For that matter, a dynamic microphone can also be used in reverse as a speaker (though it would probably sound about as good as a hard drive used as a speaker).

It occurs to me everyday, often painfully given my inflated ego, that there are people out there who do it--whatever it may be--way, way better than me.

And probably you, too.

This video is a perfect example.
