Turntable Rider Is Half Bicycle, Half DJ Controller

Bike-sharing service Cogoo has created a system called Turntable Rider that transforms a BMX bicycle into an elaborate MIDI controller.

The system features a fader box that can be attached to the handlebars, a jog wheel stick attached to the bike’s wheel valve and two handbrake sound pads. These controls communicate wirelessly (using Bluetooth) with a computer running DJ software Traktor to modify the tracks being played.

The system was developed in a collaboration between professional BMX rider Kotaro Tanaka, turntablist DJ Baku and interactive artist Toshiyuki Sugai. According to the team, the aim was to create a system that “mixes well with street culture and is fun to play.” DJ Baku and Kotaro Tanaka have created an album of BMX-controlled music, which they are soon to release on iTunes. They will also be performing live with the bike at the Kaikoo Popwave Festival in Tokyo on Apr. 21.

SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act

Why we need a law against online piracy
By Lamar Smith, Special to CNN
Fri January 20, 2012

The Stop Online Piracy Act protects consumers and innovators by targeting foreign websites that traffic in stolen or counterfeit products, everything from movies to medicine to baby food.
A great deal of misinformation about the bill has been spread around the Internet. This information does a disservice to consumers, and it is being disseminated by those who have profited from working with illegal websites that steal and sell America's intellectual property.
