My palms sweat when I read today's installment of Chris' weblog accounts of his trip to Nigeria.  10:11:31 PM    

The IBM glass engine. This is wild. I've always rather liked Philip Glass. Comes from writing a paper on minimalist music in college where I got really into minimalism (mainly because I finally understood what they were doing -- my analogy is that the music is like watching clouds on a lazy summer day: they gradually shift and morph into different shapes). This applet is a fantastic way to showcase someone's works. I hope to see other applications for other artists.  9:48:50 AM
