This is a very simple musical visualization, but I was pleasantly surprised at the effect it had on my mind, and my mood!  I think that my having mild synesthesia may have made it more enjoyable, but even without that I imagine it would be nice.  The geometric function of the visualization is readily apparent, and the chromatic function seems to be one of consistent one-to-one color and pitch pairing.  If anybody else notices anything interesting about the color assignments please note it here, because I get the feeling there's something about them that I'm just not capable of noticing.

D watched the Super Bowl (I didn't, I don't like American football) and called me after it had finished to let me know that I simply had to watch one of the commercials.  It was this one for Google.

Awwwww.  So sweet.  It really warmed my heart.

Quote from: Article linked by Truthordeal
Illustrated to the right is a recent radiographic image of Mr. Lee, the first human subject to attempt this procedure, which shows the healthy fetus developing in his abdominal cavity.
Wait, so this is real? Like, it's really happening, Junior-style!?

Well, my preference was always the birth pod, so that children could theoretically be hatched with minimal duress for all involved. On the other hand, nobody should deny a man his right to maternity.

EDIT: Nah, it's some kind of "artistic" site. Interesting way of generating interest in various medical ideas though. When the website said this research center has also created the world's first mouse with human intelligence, I knew something had to be up.
