Free Music Archive - 1 views

    "What is the Free Music Archive? The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of legal audio downloads directed by legendary freeform radio station WFMU. This project wouldn't be possible without our curators, who select and upload all the music you'll find here. Curators come from all over the world, and have a wide range of experience with good music. They include freeform radio stations, netlabels, artist collectives, performance spaces, and concert organizers. If the FMA were a radio station, the curators would be our awesomely obsessive DJs."

    This is the best voice recognition software out there. You can train it to recognize your voice and it is incredibly accurate. I have written papers using it. The student version is around $100. The challenge with it is it is only going to be really accurate with your voice so you would have to listen and restate what you are hearing for the program to really recognize it well.

    This seems like it could be really useful, in theory. While the video demonstrated that the program works really well with a well-enunciating woman with a fairly moderate American English accent, I would be curious to see how the program recognizes accents. I know it says that it attunes itself to individual voices, but whether that works in practice is not really apparent on the site. I guess it reminds me of that episode in IT Crowd, when Roy convinces his boss that he can converse with his computer. But still cool!

    It works fine for accents. You practice reading a set script to tune the program to your voice.

    I guess what I'm questioning is its ability to adapt to tonal changes, speech rate, etc. I know I don't pronounce things with consistency.

  • He explores the formation of maker identities in his research, focusing on how specific sites such as hackerspaces, makerspaces, Fab Labs, and other co-working spaces intersect with the politics of making, gendered practices, urban vs. rural geographies, and creative hardware and software developments.

    I don't know how much this might apply to any of our research, but I thought that this new leap in technology could be interesting in the future. How are we going to interact with others once things like this start being used more? Kind of reminds me of Wall-E, but still, really cool. I would definitely buy something like this. Get your cardio and gaming in all at once!

  • Ethnography, they argue, provides thick, specific, contextualized understanding, which can complement and sometimes correct the findings of the more quantitative, formalized methods that dominate in tech companies.
  • it is also useful for understanding the processes through which technologies get built
