Hi Everyone,

Tonight I would like to share some really cool inventions by a man who is tremendously gifted. From Momento Mori, a free form seismo which is installed behind the Uv of California at Berkeley to robots, this is a techie's dream come true.

Momento Mori - Free Form Seismograph

This project is not working perfectly, but it works well enough that you can spend a lot of time waiting to see an earthquake in action. One major flaw from the hackers is that you'll find the seismo white line suddenly drop straight down or go straight up once and then go back to it's normal pattern. Despite the problem I still enjoy it tremendously. This seismograph can display earthquakes at even a thousand miles away. Some years ago I asked them ifthey could add music to the program as it only seemed natural, however, it isn't as easy as it seems. However, Mori did go to Japan for a convention and music was added for that program.

When you go to this site there is a bar across the top with subject headers, place your cursor on the area of the bar you wish to see and the field below will fill with informational links.

I hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to have fun with some of the interactive projects.
