Behold! It be the mos’ feared of all pirates! Recently seen disrupting local picnic activities and captured by the dread Ryan Watters and the hearty Malcom Donaldson, here be pirates:

List of infamous behavior:

• The stealing of foot apparel and placement in a variety of other vessels bound for alternate harbors
• “Ominous drumming” while approaching full ramming speed
• Sharing freely of the lake upon our lake-bound brethren
• Song and dance appearances to such hits as: “We Are the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”
• Tom-foolery, mockery, inducing general angst among sea-dwellers, and a rowsing good time

I’ve often wondered how my life would be different if I lived in an age before the discovery of the computer. And then I found a video that pretty much sums it up. Enjoy.

Holophony (or holophonic sound) is an audio recording technique which operates on a similar principle to Holography, except it applies these principles to sound and audio recording. It is related to the technique of wave field synthesis whereby sound is sampled over an area, usually a sphere, enabling the recreation of the shape of the sound wavefront as well as its direction. It is derived from the Huygens’ Principle, which conveys the idea that an acoustical field within a volume can be expressed as an integral. It has some similarities with higher order Ambisonics. The result has been reported to be realistic and life-like three dimensional sounding audio recordings which have been said to exceed the realism of stereo sound.
