I must admit I’m a little bit jealous of all my friends being suddenly pregnant. I know at least four lady womens who have buns in the oven, and they are all about the “it feels like this!” and “I can’t wait until it’s out there!” and “I pee a lot!”
Well, I’ve been living the life of the dude who watches the mommy going through the birth pains thing on my own, sort of, and can now proudly announce the birth of a 319Kb bouncing baby application saddled with the mouth-twisting name of Magnetosphere.
What is it? It’s an iTunes visualizer that snaps into your music library and turns all your songs into wildly gyrating points of light that swell and recede and grow tendrils and change color and pretty much make you wish you were high as a kite while you watch it. My boyfriend Robert coded up the bedrock of the thing and his company, The Barbarian Group, fiddled with the plug-inning-ness of it and now you can have it for your very own, whether you’re on Windows or Mac.
They launched it yesterday and it was enjoying a little Digg action before the whole HD DVD code blew up in their faces so I was afraid it might get lost in the white noise, so feel free (if you’re a fan of it) to spread the link far and wide. It’s free!
Have at it!
First of all, wow - that thing is cool!
Second, and I konw this is going to sound weird coming from a stranger on the internet, reading the way you’ve written about Robert here and at your other sites makes me smile - I wish you kids all the best.
