It looks like frozen smoke. And it’s the lightest solid material on the planet. Aerogel insulates space suits, makes tennis rackets stronger and could be used one day to clean up oil spills. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientist Alex Gash shows us some remarkable properties of this truly unique substance.

Next was Buraka Som Sistema, who I had never heard of before. They were aaaaammmazing. Two live drummers, two male MCs and one female MC. They really brought the energy, I would definitely see them again. They did this interesting thing at the end of their show where they wanted everyone to lay on the floor — realistically everyone crouched on the floor — and on the count of three the music started and everyone jump, jump, jumped! Awesome way to close their show.

We decided to wonder inside after Buraka Som Sistema finished to catch Steve Aoki. He rocked the house!! Angie and I just sat and got light shows during Aoki; also met up with one of the dudes I talked to in the security checkpoint line. Next we went outside to get ready for Basement Jaxx — finagled our way to the mid/mid-front row for an awesome show! They were very energetic (as expected) and played some really gnarly music. Met a lot of people during Basement Jaxx’s and Justice’s sets, very down to earth crowd!

Now, the highlight of the night for me was Justice. Angie and I were as mid-front row as mid-front row gets, and their big, glowing cross was sexy as hell! They are simply amazing live and in the studio. They really based their music off the crowds’ energy at HARD Haunted Mansion — they also played a wide array of music.

2ManyDjs ended up playing both nights to my amazement! They were great, but Angie and I were very tired by this time of the night. Basement Jaxx and Justice really wore us out! We watched from a distance and just enjoyed the music and chatted. Also got a few light shows. I was sending texts at this point in the night, and I guess I never grabbed my cell. Angie called it and someone answered! Someone had found it and gave it to one of the security guards. LUCKY ME! After this, we met up with Yvonne and her friends for the end of 2ManyDJs and half of Modeselektor. We left at about 3:45am (not counting daylight savings).

Very very exciting night, I had a lot of fun!

From Quiv’s post

Someone took the dialog from the Jules / Brad scene (I will bring down upon thee with great vengeance yada yada yada) of Pulp Fiction, and basically used wave to teleplay the whole scene. It was pretty entertaining, and showed all the stuff you can do with wave.

The Magic Wand = Accelerometer + Remote Control

The wand has a total of thirteen gestures that can be programmed to output IR signals. The gestures can be re-programmed at any time when you have the original remote. Their website doesn’t list all of them, but the names are quite suggestive of the motion. They include Rotate (for volume), Flicks (for advancing tracks or channels), and Taps (I would think for Playing and Stopping).
