Bohemian Rhapsody from old bits of hardware
If you've got a scanner, you've probably noticed that it emits a high-pitched whine.
Well what if you could get it to emit particular pitches and what if you had other old bits of hardware laying around and what if you were a Queen fan? Ah, what then? [Apologies to Coleridge] http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-ce...tech-20100717/

Awful lot of work, when you can just go to YouTube and listen to the song.

Matthew! Come up out of the basement and come to dinner. You haven't seen your family for three weeks!

Reminds me of when I was a kid ... my dad was a VP at United Insurance in Chicago. There was a massive impact printer in his office that could play Christmas Carols somehow. I loved the thing.

Outstanding!
I always look at acts like the Blue Man Group and Stomp and think "How do they come up with this stuff?" Makes me feel right-brain challenged.
