			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who has the fastest hands &#8212; the pianist or the typist? &#8212; For any given interval, is it possible to hit more keystrokes on a computer keyboard than musical notes on a piano? If so, has anyone ever tried mapping a computer keyboard to a piano&#8217;s keys so that they could play the piano on their computer keyboard, and thus becoming the de-facto fastest piano player ever?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done some searching around, but so far <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLVZLOgt7fY">the internet</a> has yet to yield me an answer. So for now, the best we can do is watch these two videos, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZpD0btOZx8">simultaneously</a>.</p>

<p>Animated search? Sure. Website? <a href="http://search.spacetime.com/">SpaceTime 3D</a>. So basically, it&#8217;s like a regular <a href="http://www.altavista.com/">search engine</a>, where you can choose from Google, Images, Wikipedia and YouTube. But when you type something and hit Search, instead of getting some kind of usable list populated with inspiring blue links, you get this crazy tile looking system that works kind of like iTunes cover flow. On each tile, one of your page results, and you can click around to navigate to other results. It&#8217;s pretty cool, but not very practical. It&#8217;s sluggish and you can only see a few results at a time. And beside aesthetics, the only real advantage is that it preloads a snapshot of each of your page results. That might sound trivial, but it does make it a lot easier to scan through a large number of websites because you can see all the content on one page without having to open up <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L1MS5LJ34Q">a million tabs</a>. Definitely worth the look &#8212; just for fun. Requires flash.</p>
