Audio Illusion

I don’t know if I can call what you will hear now an “audio illusion”, but after I searched a little on google I learned that the real name is “Holophonics”

Holophonics is a form of sound recording that employs a dummy head recording arrangement and is based on the hypothesis that the auditory system acts as an interferometer. As with binaural recordings, the sound characteristics are most clearly heard through headphones. Holophonics should not be confused with holophonic recording (or holophony), which is a system of sound recording over the surface of a sphere.

Below is a YouTube clip that uses the holophinc technique in recording, but before you play it make sure you use a headphone to live one NICE experience! (Seriously). It’s about a virtual barber shop, and you will actually feel like you’re really there. The thing is so realistic that I turned around many time to check if there was any one in the room making these sounds.

On electricity cutoff in Beirut

Dear Alain Tabourian,

You are wrong if you think that cutting off the electricity on Beirut is a smart move. It is the CAPITAL, the heart of the country, where generators are PROHIBITED.

Increasing the cutoff hours in Beirut will not help the other areas at all! Beirut Vs. the rest of Lebanon? Come on! I wonder how many extra hours of electricity will each other city have… 15 minutes maybe?

Oh and if you think that this it the best way to have your revenge from the Future Movement, then f*ck both of you. We have nothing to do with your stupid conflicts with Saad Hariri!

Regards,
A pissed Beiruti internet addict.

Lebanese Lesbians…!

Following yesterday’s post, I found today another photo for this in Hamra also:

Lebanese Lesbians

I imagine some gay/lesbian appearing on the TV someday and saying: “طريق تحرير الشواذ تمر في بيروت”!!

Lebanese Gays…

Lebanese Gays

You can see this somewhere in Hamra, it says:

مين شاذ؟
إمك شاذة
أنا مُثلي

Does a gay gets really pissed off if he was called as a “شاذ”? I wonder…

Yet another martyr

Saleh Aridi

Sheik Saleh Aridi, a senior member of the Lebanese Democratic party, was killed in a car blast last night. And so, we “earned” yet another martyr…

Talal Arslan, the head of the Lebanese Democratic Party said today: “The message has been delivered”

I don’t know since when Lebanese people started exchanging messages through dead bodies, but they should really stop it. It’s a dangerous habit because 6 other persons were injured yesterday during the message delivery.

Hello from the States!

Well that was the reason behind my lack of writing recently, I’m currently in the US on a business mission that is supposed to be done by Saturday.

I first came to New York and spent 2 days there, WONDERFUL CITY! I liked every single thing I saw in New York, I didn’t immagine it would be that wonderful because I first thought that all I’m going to see is some crowdy city… but I was wrong. What I saw was a city with a very unique identity, something that you don’t see in any other city of the world!

Although I stayed there for less than 48 hours, but I managed to go to Central Park, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Wall Street, World Trade Center in addition to various other places,  and I will soon be uploading some photos.

I am currently in Dallas and it’s SO boring here!
