Especially note the entry for Historical Society of Pennsylvania--a cataloger ghost!
"A spectral typist frequently heard in a room on the third floor is said to be the ghost of cataloger Albert J. Edmunds. Voices, footsteps, shadowy forms, and an address-label machine that operated without being plugged in have been well-witnessed."

From the website:

Call them pipes, teqlos, dapps, modules, mashups or whatever else but fact is that recently we have seen a good number of new services that allow developers and users to build mini-apps and mashups that mix and re-mix data. Here we run through 5 applications that allow you to mix, rip and mash your data, looking at the data input, output, REST support, suggested use, and required skill level

From the website:

CSIRO Research engineer Dr Richard Helmer is interviewed about the wearable guitar which works by recognising and interpreting arm movements and relaying this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation. It then shows him demonstrating it.

“Developing the air guitar was a technical challenge for precision textile-based sensing.”
Dr Richard Helmer
Research engineer
CSIRO Textile & Fibre Technology

The intent of this clip is to explain the instrument, its postural flexibility and ability to repeatedly play performance parts with the CSIRO wearable instrument shirt guitar.

The wearable instrument shirt is a conventional black long sleeve T-shirt and the textile motion sensors used by the instrument for monitoring elbow movements and computer interface are not directly discernable in the garment.

This catalog has a feature to view the catalog record as a beat-up, type-written catalog card. You can even add "hand-written" marginalia to the card image. Fun, but I'm not sure what it adds to the user experience.
