I just wanted to apologize for my sudden disappearance. I have returned and the blog should be back up and running soon.
Thanks for your patience.

Missed a day March 18, 2009
I apologize for missing Wednesday. There was a lot of awesome science and art going on, and I regret not being able to bring it to you.
Modern technology of music October 17, 2008
A nice collection of musical/technical instruments. While I don’t know if I’d buy any of these music makers for myself, it’s odd to think what role technology has had in the proliferation of music. Musical instruments can be found as far back as the archaeological record goes, and it’s only been recently that technology has played any sort of role in music, first with the cylinder phonograph. But now, people listen to music primarily through radio or ipods, people play electric guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, and everything is recorded using digital technologies. So I supposed it only makes sense that more and more we will see music created using the medium of electronics.

This blog was created to showcase the combination of art and science, either in science’s application to artistic endeavours, or in how art has helped move science forward. Art and Science have historically been seen as two sides of the same coin, and the (perhaps lofty) goal of this blog is to exemplify that these two fields are not polar opposites and in fact can benefit from each other. People in both the ”science” and “art” camps tend to believe they are working towards different goals, or that the other camp has it all wrong. But in fact both camps only have it half right.
Updates will be sporadic until I am done with Spring quarter, so hopefully in the next two weeks I will be able to create a regular update schedule.
