Cute video of the reactions of people in a Swedish subway station when “musical stairs” were installed. Anyone who has been to the Museum of Science in Cambridge over the last 20 years or so has undoubtedly walked up and down their musical staircase at least once, although that staircase has more of a random layout of musical sounds rather than the direct analogue of a piano keyboard. Last time we were at the museum, the staircase had been disabled temporarily (well, musically, at least), but this video reminded me of it instantly.

Dear Harvey, Pete, Barry, Kevin, and every other weathermonkey on Boston-area TV: Enough is enough. The fucking blizzard was THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO. It’s time to stop trotting out the same blurry videotape of cars stuck on Rt. 128 that is older than some of the people who are actually on your broadcast, [...]
It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT.
