Moog Synthesizer

Did you see the Google home page on Wednesday, May 23rd?  It was one of the best Google Doodles yet!

Here is a recap, from the Google Doodle page.
"Robert Moog's 78th Birthday"

Try it, it works nicely!  Change the synthesizer settings by clicking on the knobs and dials above and to the left of the keyboard.

Song of the Day: Marina and the Diamonds -

Yeah, another song by Marina.  What can I say?  She's my favorite.

♡ "BUY THE STARS" ♡ | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysckmplDbmA


You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I'm not yours to keep
Because you'll never see, that the stars are free
Oh we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well

All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, ya'd like to think you know me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars, but it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are

You bought a star in the sky tonight
And in your man-made dark
The light inside you died

Oh we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well

All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, ya'd like to think you own me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars, but it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are

You know only how to own me
You know only how to own me

You're buying stars to shut out the light
We come alone and then we die
And no matter how hard you try I'll always belong in the sky

And you could buy up all of the stars, but it wouldn't change who you are.
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are.

Song of the Day: The Hooters - And We Danced

Here's a song that brings me right back to the middle of the 80's.  Ah, the memories!

Manhatten, Maps from Old to New

To copy a friend: "Awesome use of Maps."

From The New York Times:
"How Manhattan’s Grid Grew"
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/21/nyregion/map-of-how-manhattan-grid-grew.html

Compare an old map of Manhatten to a new map.  Amazing to see how true Manhattan has remained to its original plan.  Also interesting to see how Manhattan has grown, physically expanding around the edges.
