I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you have ever had an interest in comics. Chabon is a very talented author, and this is his best work (so far). I have heard rumors that he will be writing the screenplay for the next Spiderman movie as well... which would be a very, very good thing.
at the University of Michigan, the Digital Music Ensemble used a PowerGlove to control MIDI way back in 1996 (i'm not sure on the date...). Check out a video clip of the performance at the following link: U-M Digital Music Ensemble
instructions:
Click the video monitor on the splash page, then (in the pop-up window) select the "Midi Glove" clip from the enormous pull-down menu under the screen.
As a former music store employee who witnessed the MASSIVE sales of Moby's last album, "Play", I can state with some authority that his fans are NOT necessarily tech-type people. Most of the thousands and thousands of people I sold that album to were completely unfamiliar with electronic music, and many were just buying it because they heard it on a commercial... Many of these customers proved their "no-tech" status by asking, "Are you sure this is a cd, not a dvd?"
My humble opinion is that Moby has dug his own grave here by choosing to release "We Are All Made of Stars" as his first single. It bears little resemblance to the songs on his last album, and I think that the teeming masses who bought that only want more of the same.
