What I'm listening to today: "Mixed Emotions", Bebe Barron

In 1956, experimental electronic musicians (and married couple) Bebe and Louis Barron composed the score for Forbidden Planet, inspiring a generation.

In 2000, Bebe visited the music lab at UCSB and recorded a new piece. It is *sick*. It seems to be inventing entirely new emotions. It sounds exactly like the music 60s electronic artists would have made if not held back by the friction of contemporary recording.

Our Nursing Home Inspect database helps you find issues that inspectors identified in more than 14,000 U.S. nursing homes.

To give the public more insight into who owns U.S. nursing homes, we just added a new search feature.

It's #MARCHintosh, so I decided to post an update on my interactive fiction #HyperCard project.

Because I always have multiple projects in development, progress has been slow but steady—including the user interface, text parser, and other foundational under-the-hood development. The proof-of-concept UI is attached!

Please help with this project by offering your feedback, suggestions, and support:

A 900-Page Pre-Pantone Guide to Color from 1692: A Complete High-Resolution Digital Scan

There’s ahead of its time, then there’s Traité des couleurs servant à la peinture à l’eau -- or, in its original Dutch title, Klaer Lightende Spiegel der Verfkonst, a 900-page book of paint colors made before any such things were common tools of the artist’s, scientist’s, and industrial designer’s trade.
