Song of the Day

A quick note on Song of the Day - from now on the Song of the Day will not only include a song and an artist, but will also include the actual music. This will be in the form of a Youtube video. Sometimes it will be a music video - other times it will simply be the music. To kick off this new format, we have:

This is a Tesseract



(Per Wikipedia)

In geometry, the tesseract, also called 8-cell or octachoron, is the four-dimensional analog of the (three-dimensional) cube, where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through time. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square; or, more formally, the tesseract can be described as a regular convex 4-polytope whose boundary consists of eight cubical cells.

Neat Webpage

This is a very cool page with inconic photos recreated as if it they were in a computer game. The FAQs on this page about how they were created, what each image is, etc. is also pretty neat. Below is Quang Duc burning himself in protest of the Vietnam War.
