Sound Waveform Bracelet

As someone who is very interested in sound and sound related vibrations, this is really cool, check it out its a sound waveform bracelet. Basically you go to their website, record some vibrations from behind your teeth, and they turn the picture of those vibrations (peak, trough, frequency, amplitude, propagation) into a bead bracelet! way hoopy cool! and its like 18 dollars from your own six seconds. its build as like an anti-drug bracelet you can give your kids so they can always have your sage words close to them, on their pipe arm, but they don't discriminate if you just want to make fart noises for your bracelet. Seriously, you can even pick what color you want your exhalation to be represented as and what color the string that reprents the baseline is. I wonder if they would just send the string if you wanted to do like a tribute to Simon and Garfunkel or something. or maybe you are a fan of Lamentations 3:28. thats really cool/weird. I know there is some song called "(i cant remember the duration) of silence" where, the (i cant remember the duration) part is a duration that i cant remember, and i thought off the top of my head it was 3:28. but when i google "3:28 of silence" it pointed me to lamentations 3:28, which has an admonition for silence. so that worked out. if the song isn't really called "3:28 of silence" (consisting of 3 minutes and 28 seconds of silence) that would have been a much better name and duration for it. i think at least. check out the bracelet link, then a good use i think would be to generate the DTMF tones for your phone number and make a bracelet out of it, that would be cool. so if the technology ever comes out to transform a sound wave representation made out of beads into actual noise you could dial your own number from your bracelet. not useful AT ALL, but thats why its a cool idea, and thats why it escaped from my head.

hmmmm, now aren't you glad your mom saved all that stuff for you? second comment, maybe you were not "normal" either. in any case, i love you both, just the way you are.

i think you have S&G album that has this song on it --- "The Sounds of Silence". is that, perchance, the song you were thinking of?
