aM laboratory’s Tone Matrix

Author: Lance - Categories: Fun visual graphics and toys and gizmos

Remember the giant-sized piano keys that Tom Hanks jumped around on in Big? Of course you do; you were just mentioning it the other day, remember? Anyway, aM laboratory’s Tone Matrix gizmo is way freakin’ cooler than that. Trying to describe it would suck all the art and wonder out of it, and still wouldn’t make it clear anyway, so just check it out. It takes about two clicks to understand how it works (and a potential afternoon to lose yourself in it).

  • Sketching out an exec. summary for potential consideration for an "Innovation Showcase" for local venture capitalists. An unexpected turn. #
  • I just pledged to write 5 letters during Amnesty International's Global Write-a-thon, Dec 5-13th. How about you? http://bit.ly/3F3w82 #
  • Amazingly, I've been able to get to (& get back to) the fabled "inbox zero" status. 1st time in over 10 years. Refreshing, to say the least. #
  • Have hope…if I can get my email inbox empty, anyone can. (It just might take you 10 years.) #
  • Ukrainian changes his name to "None of the Above" to run for president: http://bit.ly/TJWgZ #

  • I'm blown away by all the royalty-free music @kmacleod offers for use in films (& virtually anything else). Dream–>true. http://bit.ly/60yW #
  • I got my inbox down from 250+ items to 16 items in the past 24 hours. Can't remember the last time it was under 20 items. #
  • Is it too late to stage a daylight savings rebellion? Let's set our clocks forward–suck it, Ben Franklin! #
  • How embarrassing would it be if it turned out Ben Franklin was following me? Still, hero or not, Ben can suck it for his DST idea. #
  • I picked the wrong season to randomly rail against DST though. Everyone loves it when it's "fall back" on a party night. (Sellouts.) #
  • Going to walk alone at midnight in the woods where the bears and coyotes live, lit only by the full moon. Happy Halloween! #
  • The woods walk didn't disappoint. I'm pretty sure we went between a parent bear & its cub. Then hung out & listened to them walking around. #
  • I submit that there cannot be a good 1,900-page piece of legislation. Not now, not ever. #
  • An actual online dating bio I just saw: "I enjoy going places and doing things. I am looking for someone to do those things with." #
  • The crazy thing is that I also enjoy going places and doing things! I never thought I'd find another like me. #
  • I wonder if she likes breathing and eating too. I love those. #
  • 31 (!) states' voters have voted against gay marriage now. http://bit.ly/3panNW That's an awwwful lot of future crow-eaters. #
  • One of those rare chances to use a dual-meaning word ("awful") in both its meanings. #
  • Q: How do you say "rendition" in Italian? A: "Kidnapping" | Italian judge convicts 23 Americans in CIA rendition http://bit.ly/iOB1M #
  • So, you've been waiting for my new thing where I rank the NBC Thurs. night comedies each week, so you can feel OK about making it a trend… #
  • Here you go: -11-05-09: 4. The Office 3. 30 Rock 2. Parks and Rec. 1. Community #NBCThursRankings Agree? Disagree? #
