I still love his work and it’s such a huge shame that he isn’t around to make any more of it. Happy Birthday Douglas Adams. It was good to see the google doodle about you.

The next elements: Infrared Distance Sensor

infrared element
I’ve posted about the molecule synth ‘table of elements‘ before. It’s such a great idea with some great molecules / elements to come. But I thought I’d dwell on a few of them just to mention the ones I really am excited about.

I’m not quite sure what the infrared distance sensor will actually do, but I can tell you what I’d like it to do at some point in the future, or indeed when it first arrives.

I’d love to be able to use the infrared to receive an infrared signal from a Nebulophone, or even a Palm OS PDA. The output could be as an LFO or other controller.

I hope it’ll be the first or one of the first to be launched.
