Music

From that game that's basically like Pictionary, except apparently there aren't any rules about drawing words.

This is actually one phone photoshopped and video-edited to look like several phones, but the effect is still pretty cool.

(at least one of you won't bother to read this and will call it out for being shopped in the comments anyway).

Also it's Mark Foster's birthday today (leap year baby!) so there's that.

I also ask Siri what her interests are, who she be with Things to make her smile, what numbers to dial.

A neat idea, but I can think of at least one song that would have been more appropriate.

Seminal blues singer Etta James passed away today after a long battle with leukemia at the age of 73. She released dozens of memorable albums and singles since she started singing in 1954 at the age of 15. Among her hits are "Good Rockin' Daddy," "W.O.M.A.N," and "At Last," of which the latter song will probably create a slew of too-soon jokes like the one above.

More recently, James was portrayed by Beyonce Knowles in the 2008 film Cadillac Records, and the Obamas selected "At Last" for their first dance at the 2009 inaugural ball.

That's it. If was ever cool before, it's now officially deader than disco.

The collection of self-centered brats who were livid about not getting an iPhone for Christmas has creeped from the Twitter feed into our hearts (specifically the parts of our hearts that like to hate things). It's been so popular, in fact, that musician/comedian Jonathan Mann decided to set their tweets to music. If music be the food of laughter and/or hate, play on.

Video contains language appropriate only for foul-mouthed ingrates.

We already know that Siri can rap, but its musical talents don't end there. In this video, Craig Knudsen shows how he hacked Siri to play the piano. His iPhone is stocked with MIDI song files which, when prompted by Siri, are sent wirelessly to a Yamaha Disklavier, a piano able to receive MIDI commands.

As a neat touch, when you say "If you can play it for her, you can play it for me. Play it again, Siri," Siri will play the iconic Casablanca piece "As Time Goes By," so you can have both hands free to drink your gin and moon over your bittersweet memories of that one time you were in Paris.

What Adele would sound like if she listened to more Wu-Tang.
