The Machine's Got Rhythm: Science News Online, April 21, 2007

The Machine's Got Rhythm: Science News Online, April 21, 2007
This is simply amazing: a computer that can learn how to listen to music. Read the full article for a mind-blowing experience. People are teaching computers how to transcribe performances in real-time. They are creating programs to allow performers to practice with the computer, and the computer will follow the player, even anticipating where the next entrance should come in. I would love to experiment with one of these programs. What fun!

This is a Test

This is only a test.  Will "Flock", a new browser, work with my blog?  I just downloaded Flock today and thought I would try it out.  It is supposed to take full advantage of Web 2.0 by easily tying you into all of your online activities, like Flickr, Blogger and others.

Did it work?
