In the trash can there's a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says: Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug... The album is also here : https://jankenpopp.bandcamp.com/album/poire-c-poire-v Going to this bandcamp it mentions: THE IDEA BEHIND THIS ALBUM WAS TO MAKE A DEVIANT DANCE MUSIC LABEL TO RELEASE THIS HORRIBLE TRACKS, BUT THIS PROJECT WENT…

It's that "Glitch Grrrlz" icon.

[edit] Well crap, what did I click? I could have sworn this was what was playing the music, but I realized it's not. Hmm.

[edit-edit] Oh, it was acid box. That makes sense.

I'm playing snake... in a Windows defragmenter, in JavaScript. I'm lost for words.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who clicked on the defrag button first.

Nope! Me too. Visual defrag was the thing I was most disappointed to lose in newer versions of Windows. Not gonna lie, I was supposed to head to a party with a friend in college, but we both got sucked in watching a Win98 defrag and lost track of time.

I also found this in the "What if?" app that is apparently a collection of Matrix memes.

This website just taught me that there is an HTML5 Speech Synthesis API! And there are so many accents you can choose from!

Well, it's a separate API that only Chrome and Safari support, and the accents are all on your computer already.

As far as I can figure out, on chrome it's just a web service -- and doesn't work on Debian Chromium as they stopped shipping google api keys (which makes sense, part of the point of using chromium over chrome is to have some measure of independence from google).

Just thought I'd mention it here, in case anyone else were about to run off and try stuff like:

http://updates.html5rocks.com/2014/01/Web-apps-that-talk---I...

only to be disappointed :-/

Note that on Debian/Ubuntu you can for example do:

    sudo apt-get install festival
    echo "I speak nothing, because I no verbs." | festival --tts
if you need to get your computer voice fix.
