Hope you got some of the Mill Street Organic that they have on tap there (though I think I got the bottom of a keg because the pint I had wasn't so good). I'm not into the whole 'organic' thing, but that's a really tasty beer. Oh, and Steamwhistle. Steamwhistle.

Awesome vid, thanks for sharing! It certainly reinforces in my mind why Hancock is one of my favourite musicians.

The analogy of the instrument as a tool, reflecting the personality of the performer, is pretty apt. I think I prefer comparing instruments to clothing, though. Without any manufactured tools, we've still got our voices. And if that's all we had, you'd still be able to hear the difference between my singing (awful!) and, say, Rebecca Black (awfuler!). Instruments change our sound the way clothing changes our appearance. But Hancock wouldn't be any less of a musician if he played saxophone instead of the keys - he's still Herbie under his clothes.

Ugh, I'm philosophising. It must be late on a Sunday.

Hot damn, I think my brain crashed. Sensory overload!

They built the probe thing back when THEMUSEUM was still The Waterloo Region Children's Museum. There's a control panel up on the 3rd floor (I think) so people can drive it around. The thing is, it's actually been broken for the past 6 months, so seeing it working was a total surprise. Also, I had no idea it had an autopilot.

Actually, forget what I just said. Jefftheworld is right: it's totally a chipmusic artist brain scanning device.

So. Same time next year?
