“Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth (based on Seadragon technology) creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo.”
Squee.

Stolen off of Rynnay’s journal on DeviantArt.
- Put your mp3 / iPod / music player of some various variety on shuffle.
- Take the first line from the first ten songs listed / given.
- Mesh them together and make something new.
If you want it you can have it
Look in my eyes
Hallelujah, the bugle call
Seeing this a thousand times
Oh, well imagine
Meet me after dark again and I’ll hold you
You play the bigger cat (?)
Ready, steady, can’t hold me Back
Let it die and get out of my mind.
(?) - The lyrics of that first line are pretty incomprehensible and not posted anywhere it seems.
If you’re curious, the songs that came up where:
Feist - Let it Die
Evanescence - Before the Dawn (lol Evanescence)
Panic! at the Disco - I Write Sins not Tradegies (lol P!atD)
The Eyebright Bugler - Deerhoof
Noise and Kisses - The Used
Six Holes On a Stick - Deerhoof (This is the one where I couldn’t tell what the lyrics were. This song is about a flute. “Magic flute, it’s so cute!”)
Ready Steady Go - Fullmetal Alchemist (I’m too lazy to look up the artist of this song.)
Photograph - Weezer
The Real Thing - Gwen Stefani
However, that’s not the order the lyrics appear in. I switched them around in the poem since the rules didn’t say they had to be in order. =P
