Happy Friday.

Item 1: a link

Remember the Otomatone? Well, it looks like someone has decided to make a better one, for adults with an insane amount of money. I'm not sure the Glissotar will take off, but I'm glad to see that humanity is still trying to come up with new musical instruments (well, new-ish - the Glissotar is based on an old Turkish instrument, the tarogato).

Item 4: word of the week

Pereidolia

There are those who call me mad. But this is no mere pereidolia - I truly can predict stock performance from the arrangement of a tossed set of tiddlywinks. And I'm feeling quite bullish about Urban Outfitters, Incorporated.
