Visualizing Music Mash-ups

I've always been a big fan of mash-ups. Ever since hearing DJ Z-trip's Uneasy Listening, and hearing Enferno while I lived in DC, there is something intriguing about taking the familiar and giving it new perspective. Girl Talk has taken it to another level. In Girl Talk's latest album, 300 audio snippets appear in the 50 minutes of CD play. Wired.com has a pretty cool way of visualizing the first 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

Old skool photos

I came across this nifty old site that gives photos an older sheen. Wanokoto is a great Japanese (but with an english version)that adds a couple hundred years to your photo.

What started off like this:



Came out like this:

I like shiny pennies...where is google chrome?


I can't seem, for the life of me, to find a place to download Google Chrome. After much hoopla in their promotional strategy (read here). It was supposed to launch today and I can't seem to find it. WTF?

Was this on purpose? or servers overloaded? or just bad project management?



Update: Yeah, yeah, yeah....So google launched this afternoon. I didn't get a chance to look it up again until after I got home from work.
