Strange thing, this. When I get up in the morning, I find myself in a strangely different environment. Not the usual mundane furniture, ordinary pictures, plain plates or straight white light. Instead, I find myself confronted with bright pink. And that in spades. A sailor on pink dots greets me upon opening my eyes (I figure the ‘thumb-up’ gesture is added by my neocortex).

Just some random online musings coming up here. I assume that most of you have heard (of) the incredible human beatboxing flutist Greg Pattillo. Well, so had I but I didn’t know his remix of the flight of the bumble bee. Check it out for yourself:

That is one smooth piece of fluting beatboxing, eh? FWIW, I know it is bad style to include the embedded object like the above. I guess this won’t be valid xhtml anymore, but it sure ain’t against any fluting laws….
