    Synths are good, but they've never quite managed to achieve the same quality as the BoƮte Diabolique.

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I like these things that google does - they seem to have gotten fancier over the last year or so.

    Re: News - Google doodle celebrates Robert Moog's birthday

    Google really are pushing the extremes of HTML5 with their doodles, and the HTML behind the moog is intriguing. Had I realised earlier today that it was a fully playable and recordable 4 track synth studio, I might have come up with something cool recorded on it before the end of the day. As it is, I'll just to have to appreciate the complexity of their coding, and the brilliance of Moog.
