Counting in groups of 12 the first performer claps on 1,2,3,5,6,8,10 and 11. The second performer starts by clapping the same pattern but gradually shifts the pattern one step to the right. You are playing
Steve Reich's clapping music. If you are serious you will want to study the
score - and perhaps a
watch a performance). If you are happen to be Evelyn Glennie you can have a go at
both parts at once. - those slightly less more mortal are likely to end up like
this.

Meet Rick and Steve : The Happiest Gay Couple In All The World. The animated series follows a gay couple, Rick and Steve, and other couples from their (fictional) town, West Lahunga Beach. Rick (voiced by
Will Matthews from MTV's "Punk'd") is Steve's stay-at-home partner. He is a genius but very insecure. Steve (voiced by
Peter Paige, best known as Emmet Honeycutt from "Queer As Folk") is a real estate broker and devotee of the gym.
Margaret Cho lends her voice to the character Condie Ling. The computer generated animated series began airing on
Logo on July 10, 2007, and is based on the 1999 short films of the same name from creator
Quenton Allan Brocka. Let the comedic stereotyping begin! In animation form, anyway. (Episodes 1-5 available in three parts each from the first link.) Not quite safe for work. Or the easily offended.

Straight Dope on the birth of the iPod from the sharp pen of WIRED's
Mac maven Leander Kahney. Quoth Steve Jobs: "Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

Steven Foster is the perfect bartender. He wants to share his
ontology,
his reflections on what it means to be happy,
bird aquariums,
how to make margarita mix from scratch, solutions to the world's five most pressing problems [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5, or just read the summary on every page towards the bottom], and more drink recipes than you can shake a stick at. This man delivers.

Did any other Metafilter parents (or other grown-up fans of children's television) catch
Joe's introduction on Blue's Clues tonight? I've always made an effort to watch whatever my son's watching, so I'm a little sad to see Steve go, but my four-year-old approves of the new host. I am very happy to see that Steve Burns has already moved on to
new, exciting things (including an upcoming album that features several members of the
Flaming Lips). The whole ordeal reminds me too much of the last time a
beloved host was
replaced.
