"A harmonograph is a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image. The drawings created typically are Lissajous curves, or related drawings of greater complexity. The devices, which began to appear in the mid-19th century and peaked in popularity in the 1890s, cannot be conclusively attributed to a single person, although Hugh Blackburn, a professor of mathematics at the University of Glasgow, is commonly believed to be the official inventor." ~ Turner, Steven (February 1997). "Demonstrating Harmony: Some of the Many Devices Used To Produce Lissajous Curves Before the Oscilloscope". Rittenhouse 11 (42): 41.

Windows multimedia driver which creates a "virtual cable" represented by two waveform devices, input and output, with internal link between them. Allows direct, untouched sound transfer between different applications. Useful to record application's audio output in real time, and save an output sound stream from applications that doesn't allow to write it into WAV file directly. VAC is a "wave-version" of the "MIDI loopback cable" like MultiMid or Hubi's Loopback drivers. Unlike Total Recorder allowing you to simply save audio stream, VAC allows to route it in real time. Can be used with any audio application (WinAMP, Foobar2000, AIMP, Audacity, Audition, Skype, Flex-Radio etc.).

Can be a little slow, but the results of the video conversion are quite good. We’ve converted some YouTube videos to avi (mpeg4 + mp3) format and it worked well. The tool is not limited to video conversion; it also supports several audio and document formats.

A wicked cool google maps mashup. A map with constantly updated icons displaying information about terrorist events and other manmade disasters and incidents as they unfold around the globe.
drumrobot doesnt render the flash on this site. must be seen to be appreciated.

one of the first serious slideshow overviews of imagery suggesting possible artifacts of civilization or life on the surface of mars.
Slide 46 in particular looks to me almost like what a city might look like if surrounded by desert and left to the winds for a couple thousand years...

Flash applet mashup with google maps that shows mostly natural disasters such as volcanos, epidemics, floods, algae blooms and other events as they unfold around the world.
drumrobot doesnt render the flash. you have to see this to believe it.
Great to keep open in a browser tab to monitor events as they unfold around the globe.

from their site:
EyesWeb has been designed with a special focus on the analysis and processing of expressive gesture in movement, midi, audio, and music signals. ... »
The EyesWeb open platform (free download here) has been originally conceived for supporting research on multimodal expressive interfaces and multimedia interactive systems. EyesWeb has also been widely employed for designing and developing real-time dance, music, and multimedia applications.
It supports the user in experimenting computational models of non-verbal expressive communication and in mapping gestures from different modalities (e.g., human full-body movement, music) onto multimedia output (e.g., sound, music, visual media). It allows fast development and experiment cycles of interactive performance set-ups by including a visual programming language allowing mapping, at different levels, of movement and audio into integrated music, visual, and mobile scenery.

Another excellent article from Norman Livergood on the topic of Platonic, and Socratic, questioning in a group setting, being used almost as a kind of clearing technology, to raise individual and group consciousness. Makes me wonder how much Hubbard's cult might have been an experiment of, or influenced by perennialists. Or tavistockians for that matter.
