HTML5 Drum Machine

The HTML5 Drum Machine borrows its aesthetics from classic beat boxes like the TR-808 Rhythm Composer. It’s got five different sound banks: Hip hop, electro, house, techno, and acoustic. Each bank has 13 different sounds for which you can tweak the individual volume and tone. Pick your bank, hit play, and lay down your instruments on the 16-step sequencer interface that runs across the bottom. After you’ve laid down your beat, you can export it as a WAV — via Gizmodo Australia

Obituary: Terry Pratchett

Sir Terry Pratchett, fantasy author and creator of the Discworld series, has died aged 66, eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds, said Larry Finlay of his publishers Transworld.

The author died at home, surrounded by his family, with his cat sleeping on his bed, he added.

Sir Terry wrote more than 70 books during his career and completed his final book last summer.

He enriched the planet like few before him and through Discworld satirised the world with great skill, enormous humour and constant invention, said Mr Finlay.

Terry faced his Alzheimer’s disease (an embuggerance, as he called it) publicly and bravely, said Mr Finlay.

Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come.

Lament Configuration Puzzle Box / Robin Nylund

Artist Robin Nylund created his puzzle box using brass sheeting, which were etched with stencils that seem identical to the original Hellraiser movie props. Once the etching process was complete, he then glued the etched brass sheets to a stained wooden, cleaned the excess run-off with some acetone and then finished it off with a coat of lacquer — via Make:
