Dark Side of the Moon 8-Bit remake

It never fails to astonish me what people do with their time. I love the dedication that went into remaking Pink Floyd's masterpiece using a Nintendo sound chip. Brad Smith is a musician and computer scientist working in the gaming industry.

Pink Floyd's original album turns 38 this month and never fails to carry me away.

In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
