  Art Linkletter has died.
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-27-2010, 03:30 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (4)

Most of you are probably going "who", either because you're younger than me, not from the US, or both.  Early TV personality who grew famous partly for the "Kids Say The Darnedest Things" segment on his show House Party, where he'd gently quiz a group of kids and elicit all kinds of outrageous responses.  Anyway, this news surprised me because I hadn't realized he was still alive at all.
Obituary here.

  Another upcoming Fictional Language: Dothraki
Posted by: Foxboy - 05-26-2010, 09:34 PM - Forum: General Chatter - No Replies

HBO is doing an adaptation of George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series and has chosen a conlanger to create a language for it.
Here is an interview with the language creator.
Here's the Creator's Website.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

  New Discussion Area
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-26-2010, 06:51 PM - Forum: Forums - No Replies

I took the hint in a thread title and made a new discussion area under the Walk for DWI.  This doesn't mean it's an active project yet, just that since folks want to talk about it some, it might as well have a home here.

  Turn any song into swing!
Posted by: HoagieOfDoom - 05-26-2010, 05:09 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (14)

This is way too freaking cool. Someone or someones created a Python script that takes any given song and stretches and shrinks the beats in such a way that it comes out as if it had been played to a swing beat. http://gizmodo.com/5547876/a-python-cod ... song-swing]Examples and links are available at Gizmodo.
