One of my favourite photos of myself is this one taken by Stef at SWSXi in March:
I’m playing with a Thingamagoop, a small noise-making music machine I’d come across over the interwubs a year or so back. This is my first actual contact with one. I fell in love immediately but, it being the last day of SXSWi, I didn’t have enough cash left.
Thankfully they do mail order and today my Thingamagoop arrived. Like a true nerd I videoed the first play (sorry about the audio – need to stop relying on the internal mic):
Now I just need to find a 1/4″ to 1/8″ adapter so I can hook it up to the Mac and start making music!*
*Your definition of music may vary
Oooh, that’s lovely Pete – it’s like a little hardcore rave for mice.
Lovely, lovely thing! :)
and then it slows all the way down: weeeeeeeeeee!
Ludens Ludens if ever I saw one!
I would love to own one. I would hate to live with someone who owned one.
In fact, this is the perfect present to buy a ten year-old boy whose parents you don’t much like. Better even than a bumper joke book.
