You can recreate a player piano scroll, or the drum on a music box with the online generator Music Box Fun! Place your notes along the grid on a 15, 20, or 30 note scale and see what happens (if you need sharps and flats, select the 30-note scale). Bryan Braun tells us how he came to build this toy. Yeah, you could pull out a score from the piano bench and build it quickly, or just fool around like me, or if you know a bit about music you can show off your chops with a familiar tune or even an original.
People who know what they're doing have shared their creations. To get an idea of what it could sound like, here's the theme from Jeopardy! And here's "Bohemian Rhapsody," although you'll want to speed up the tempo to listen to it. If you make something with this, let us know! -via Laughing Squid

I didn't hear any candidate being endorsed. All the kid said was "VOTE!" That is not indoctrination, its civic duty.

Duty – noun, plural -ties.
1. something that one is expected or required to do by moral or legal obligation.
2. the binding or obligatory force of something that is morally or legally right; moral or legal obligation.
(Personally I think this is cute. The kid is a little annoying, but what four-year-old isn't a little annoying?)

It's not any less creepy because it's an American flag rather than another country's.
the video is cute, but i'm tired of being bashed over the head with the voting thing. my vote doesn't actually count, thanks to the electoral college, and after 2000, i have no plans on voting again until we move to direct elections, like most of the rest of the civilized world.
Back to the topic... My front door is about 20 feet from my polling place. I think I'll lose my citizenship if I don't vote in this election.
I like to see a kid that supports america. I think it means that his parents are probably telling him that right sort of things. :-)
I just kinda glossed over the rest.
