As of late I have IMMERSED myself into dubstep (and other remixes and such), with all my findings from YouTube. I didn't just get into it, I've enjoyed the stuff for the better part of a year or so. But the past few days I've become almost addicted. I do nothing but sit on YouTube searching for dubstep remixes of theme songs to shows and video games of my beloved childhood; Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Street Fighter, Thundercats, and many, many more. Me only working part-time with not much else to do has done nothing but to incubate this habit for me. Luckily, I don't think that I am in too deep as to where I become an elitist and do nothing but eat, sleep, breathe dubstep, especially since I've never become that way with anything else in my life, outside of a few days and never outside of my home. But in my "travels" through, what I am right now creating and copywriting the term, the Dubsterverse, I have discovered a device for sound mixing called a launch pad. And no its not Launchpad McQuack from DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. It looks like a prop for a sci-fi keyboard, and seems absolutely awesome! The Novation Launchpad for use with Ableton Live software seems really cool, and I have no experience in producing electronic music but this thing is tempting me to venture into that field.
The large square above that reminds you of missingno, is a QR Code, or Quick Response Code. They started off used as marking auto parts for Toyota, but have spread onto other products. I'm sure you've seen one somewhere, on a flyer for a store perhaps? On a package from FedEx maybe? Either way, all they are are barcodes. Now I don't have all the facts, but I'm not sure how slow old fashion barcodes are. Are QR codes going to replace the barcodes we've come to know and love within the next decade or two? Only Time will tell.
