Boss SYB-3 Watch

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Details saved below for posterity. Via Music Thing.

Details from auction:
"This is very rare opportunity to own Boss Effecter Pedal (Bass Synthesizer SYB-3 pedal) shaped watch in as new condition. I have replaced the battery prior to listing this auction.

This watch never been used and it is about 6 years old. This was given to me by supplier in Japan for Promotion / Campaign. Please note that you cannot buy this watch and they only produced one hundred of them (well that is what I got told) for the promotion.

This will make perfect gift for someone musical / guitarists / bass players or why not you show your musical side in the fashion.

Comes with an original case."

"About those big blue buttons: Are they soft and rubbery, or hard? [10 years of journalism, and this is where I've ended up]: They're soft, and they feel great!!"

Too funny Tom. : )

BallDroppings

"BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. Alternatively this software can be taken seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line. This delightful application allows experimentation with sound and vision which will compound and intrigue you. Whether you are an adult or child, scientific brainbox or avid gamer. It doesn't have a plot, no heroine, no villain. It has no guns or alien beings. It is simply time to get creative, and those who are creative will love this. --Gosfish Games "

Addicting... You can have multiple instances running at the same time for some interesting sequences. Title link takes you to the site with download. The download is a single exe that runs the app directoy - no install. Now if you could only use it as a MIDI trigger... Via Joe McMahon on SynthSights.
