    Sorry. I want to listen to the audio descriptions of what the tiny image is supposed to be about, but there's an overbearing, painful-to-listen to abomination of electronica drowning out the announcer.

    And here I thought I liked electronic music. I guess I like some electronic music... still, occasionally it's not as bad as the 'fashions'!

    The first fashion in the show is just stupid... although I guess that's predictable.

    The second thing could be um, interesting, but is really just good for a joke. I guess a lot of "fashion" is like that, though, huh?

    uh. Nothing "computational" about any of this, yet, though. The third outfit is the only reasonable one yet... and it's just some ( not many ) movement-controlled LEDs on the front of an outfit.

    And no, I don't care to know what you're listening on your iPod, thanks.

    Good god, this is awful. Sorry. It's even worse than a normal fashion show. I wouldn't have predicted that.

    I can't really stand to watch the whole thing, I'm afraid, even if the server wasn't starting to show some slashdot effect. If anyone does make it through and sees anything worthwhile, could you let us know what it is and about where to find it ? Thanks... I just can't do it... thanks to the user who posted the link of pictures. That's a much more positive group of images... and easier on the ears.

    Still, is it really "computational" to stick some speakers in something and hook your iPod to it? Why do I expect better than this ?

    You can't. The fashion is not at all visible anywhere.

    or does having an MIT fashion show make about as much sense as having Blonde Supermodels Week on Jeopardy?
