A Windows Symphony
This has by far got to be one of the most unique sites I've run across. It is called Clown Staples and has two components. The first is called Windows Noises. I like to think of it as a mini symphony written and produced by someone with far too much time on their hands. But I'm glad they spent the time. It's quite entertaining and ingenious.
What does it do already? First it uses the Windows built in wave files. Then it proceeds to load (in a visual fashion) and play these files in such a way that some might call it music. It has a definite rhythm to it, and while it's probably not something you would hum in the shower, there is a new era type of sound to it. It takes a little while to load but a little patience with your dial up is worth the wait.
The second component of the site is a study in physics. Think of a spent yo-yo at the end of a string--attached to the tip of your mouse pointer. Try it.
