MIDIfy your Blog

by Haitham Sabbah September 29, 2004

Sounds unusual? This is the sound of Sabbah’s Blog. This ‘WebMIDIfier’ converts textual data from any web site and converts it to MIDI music. At its most base, it creates repetetive noise.

Iraq Visual Language Survival Guides for Military Personnel

by Haitham Sabbah September 28, 2004

It may look like a manual for fetishists, designed by a down-on-his luck coloring book designer. But, really, it’s a “visual language survival guide,” used by coalition soldiers and contractors in Iraq. A company named Kwikpoint makes them, and the military hands them out to personnel. The guides help English-speaking personnel communicate with prisoners, would-be-detainees, [...]

Toutatis: Almost Too Close

by Haitham Sabbah September 28, 2004

No, no… this is not real. It’s just simulation of asteroid impact if Kerry get elected. Vice President Dick Cheney echoed earlier remarks, warning the United States will risk direct impact by the asteroid Toutatis if voters make the wrong choice. IMO, the impact would be the same either (Bush/Kerry) get elected!

by Haitham Sabbah September 28, 2004

by Haitham Sabbah September 27, 2004

PhysicsWeb writes that a team of French physicists has discovered a law-breaking liquid that defies the rules. When you heat it between 45 and 75°, it “freezes” and becomes solid.
