Xbox 360 Lightsynth
Ophion writes "Renowned digital artist Jeff Minter of Llamasoft has created a new lightsynth that will be built into the Xbox 360. More information on the console's music player is available from Microsoft." From the post: "I believe it finally begins to achieve the potential that I saw all those years ago when I first made Psychedelia... and I am happier with it than I have ever been with anything I've created in my entire career. And we got it into the firmware again... Microsoft firmware. Of the Xbox360 for goat's sake. At last... after more than 20 years' work, one of my lightsynths is going to reach a decent sized audience. Millions and millions..."

Damn... And I thought I could ramble on... and on... for several lines really well... but this guy really has me beat... because he sure knows how to ramble a lot better than I could... and I thought I was an expert at rambling... but he's a lot better than me at rambling... and taking one idea... and dragging it into what could be several paragraphs... or rambling... about one idea... much better than I could... and I thought I was really good at rambling... on and on... for a long time... but he has me beat.
Then again, I can't even remember to close an HTML "bold" tag, so what do I know?
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Just because it's the world's largest console doesn't mean it's the best.
