Make Your URL Sing with CodeOrgan.com [video]

If your URL could sing, what would it say? CodeOrgan.com knows. Just type in your URL and Code Organ will translate it into song.

Here’s the methodshop.com song:
http://www.codeorgan.com/?url=www.methodshop.com

Any URL will work. You can even type in your Facebook or Twitter URLs.

So how does Code Organ work? Believe it or not, it’s not random. Code Organ creates music by analyzing the “Body” content of your page. Of all the letters on your page, Code Organ only keeps charters found in the musical scale (A to G). The other letters are stripped out. The most commonly used letter becomes the “key” of the song. Then the synthesizer is chosen based on the amount of text content on your page. Longer pages will have a different synthesizer than shorter pages. The drum loop is based on how often you use letters from the musical scale (A, B, C, D, E, F and G). Put it all together and you have a custom song based on the content of your web page. Cool right?

Go give it a try at CodeOrgan.com.

Chatroulette Invasion: Dancing Dongs and Tino the Guido [video]

With all the freaks, perverts and self-promoters, it’s hard to believe that there are any real people left on Chatroulette.com. Well, at least the promoters are funny. We found a couple YouTube clips from Chatroulette promoting CheapSlap.com and Comedy.com. Warning, both videos contain NSFW moments. But that’s pretty much true for all of Chatroulette.

CheapSlap.com has Tino, who has a glued on mustache and apparently works at a meat distribution center in Chicago.

Then there’s Comedy.com’s Dancing Dong. He doesn’t have much to say, he just dances around and holds up a piece of paper that says COMEDY.COM. Not overly clever, but energetic to say the least.

Which one is your favorite? Tito or the Dong? What do you think about Chatroulette? Should it be banned? Let us know here.

Have you ever been stranded overnight in an airport? What did you do? Watch a movie on your iPhone? Read a book? Sleep? What about make a viral video?

At least that’s what Ashley Klinger did. After missing her evening flight earlier this month because of a massive snow storm, she decided to hang around her gate in the Pittsburgh International Airport until the next available flight at 5:40 AM. Ashley recorded her airport adventures and uploaded the video to YouTube. Apparently Ashley had a BLAST! And everyone else seems to love it too. The clip has gone viral.

Now what if Ashley Klinger and Christoper “Weapon of Choice” Walken were both stranded at the airport overnight. What would that look like? [video]
