Code Organ turns the web into music


















The newest totally pointless thing to interest me this weekend has to be the Code Organ. Basically what it does is turn any website into a song...i told you it's pointless. But as pointless as it may seem, over a quarter of a million people have listened to web pages on Code Organ in over 100 countries. Now i have grooved out to my twitter, facebook and blog pages and i have to say, like a true narcissist, that i make some pretty good beats. I think it's the fact that people are so narcissistic that this little flash based tool has become so popular, as millions of people have punched in their own facebook pages to see how their social activities measure up in the world of rhythm.


The Code Organ was conceived and created by London advertising agency DLKW to prove to potential clients that it understands the web, but also to find out what Code Organ is for (it seems they don't really have a clue either).

Speaking of organs, here's some interesting facts about the human heart:

Women hearts beat faster than men.
The heart can create enough pressure that it could squirt blood at a distance of thirty feet.
In one day the heart beats 100,000 times.
The heart beats roughly 35 million times a year.
Most heart attacks occur between the hours of 8 and 9 am.
At one time it was thought that the heart controlled a person's emotions.
In 1967, the first successful heart transplant was performed in Cape Town, South Africa. (this is my favorite one)
