Do Your Own Adventure with Sue Teller: Customizing Your Kicks & Making Mash-Ups. [Warning: Extremely Obvious Product Placement.] A bit elderly-say-the-darndest-things with viral ad written all over it, but I still chuckled. "I'm going to do a little design that I came up with when I was in the bathroom."

Music to (both) your ears.

What do you call capturing sound the way the human head hears it, that is, three-dimensionally? Nope, not stereo. Binaural recording. Holophonics. Dummy head (no, not you) recording. Binaural recording was known of as far back as 1881, requiring a telephone and a "fancy" headset. Now you can record your own using a stealth mic or a dummy head and can (and must) listen using a pair of headphones. Get your headphones on. Good, ready for more? (Note: all links are either to an MP3, a video, or contain links to such, as if I had to even say it.)

Clockwork tiger.

Re Your Brains is the music video to a great song (a memo between two businessmen, detailing the fact that one of them is now a zombie and intends to eat the other one's brains) by the much mefi'd Jonathan Coulton; apparently inspired by his "Flickr: the Video", fans are making DIY videos for several of his songs over at the JoCoPro (Jonathan Coulton Project). Two of my favorite non-zombie related ones are The Presidents, a mnemonic for memorizing every U.S. President in order & at least one fact about each, and Code Monkey, detailing the warm secret heart of a Frito loving coder.
