Reactable vs. the Poly.Touch

BUNKRE — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:59:12 +0000

I followed a few links from the comments on a post about the Poly.Touch found on NotCot today, and wound up looking at this instead: the Reactable. Watch it in action:

Apparently it’s not exactly new (posted October 25, 2006!), but it’s new to me!

Link to a YouTube Video with a Specific Start Time

BUNKRE — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:37:29 +0000

I made this this week with some friends from work. Just paste in your YouTube URL, pick a start time, and it spits back a link that will start the video wherever you like. Stupid and simple.

Pretty self explanatory, but very neat stuff.

Radiohead’s “Nude (Big Ideas)” on Old Computer Equipment

BUNKRE — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:56:08 +0000

You’ve probably all heard about Radiohead’s little game of letting anyone remix their single, “Nude”, but this one takes it to a whole other level. James Houston played forced the tracks out of old and abused computer equipment (or at least sampled them).

He had this to say about the idea:

This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm… …I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.

See for yourself (skip in to 1:09 for the music to start):

You can also catch it in full res and full screen at the source here.
