…Jelli is here to kill the radio?

by Cory O'Brien

Jelli Logo

The radio is dead, and Jelli is here to replace it.

Ok, so maybe that’s a bit extreme, but the concept behind Jelli is a fascinating one, and does have the potential to change radio as we know it.

Jelli

Essentially, Jelly is a single radio station that’s 100% listener controlled. Users can nominate songs, vote for songs they like, and bomb the ones they don’t, and the song with the most votes at the end of the currently playing track gets the next spot in line. The more you listen, the more power you gain, though even first timers have the ability to push a song over the edge.

The result is a mix of music that will surprise and delight, with an ever changing flow of community taste and creative control.

Just don’t expect to hear the Billboard Top 40 playing on repeat any time soon.

…You can hack your brain to hallucinate?

by Cory O'Brien

Hallucinations

Want to hallucinate without the harsh after effects of mind-altering substances using just a radio and some ping-pong balls?

The Boston Globe has put together a few easy illusions, hallucinations and psychedelic experiences that can take you on a trip with objects you probably already have around the house and just a few minutes of your time.

The tricks include the Ganzfeld Procedure, the Pinocchio Illusion, the Rubber Hand Illusion, and Purkinje Lights, and each sounds more trippy than the last.

Plus, unlike LSD, magic mushrooms or mescaline, these phenomena can all be turned off just as easily as they’re turned on, allowing you a safe and temporary escape from the trappings of your mind.

…It’s Tuner Tuesday: You and the Mini Configurator?

by Cory O'Brien

Mini

According to Mini, there are now over 10,000,000 ways to configure your pint-sized ride, which means that after choosing your own paint color, turn signal color, upholstery color, door trim color, heliport roof graphic, roof rack, aero kit, radio, wheels, valve stems, and floor mats, you can stop playing tuner and drive off in your now $40,000 ride with a third door on the street side.

I guess mini car doesn’t always mean mini price.
