Link dump

The stuff one stumbles across ...

1. OK, so I was reading The Consumerist and came across this a about Microsoft's "Songsmith", some software of which I'd been blissfully unaware ("Microsoft Attempts to Kill Music Forever with Songsmith Commercial").

A post in the comments section led me to MeFi music, where someone had run the isolated vocal track from Van Halen's "Runnin' With the Devil" through the software.  Check out the results here, and make sure to turn your volume all the way up, even if you're at work.  It's important.  Trust me.

2. Via BoingBoing, I found this impressively incorrect (yet valiant) effort:


Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

3. Via retrosabotage.com, Super Mario has to live with his decisions in a modified game level.

4. Via Instructables.com, how to make an amazing Atari 2600 lamp that looks like an old joystick.

5. Near and dear to my heart and my interests through the 80s, Scott Mortimer of Merrimack, N.H. is attempting to put together an entire set of 1983 Fleer Baseball Cards.  The catch?  To have each card autographed.

6. Who did that voice-over?  Find out on voicechasers.com.
