Such excitement! On Friday I came home early for a much needed before Friday night nap and a UPS guy came to my door. He had a package for me - one I was not expecting. Turns out Cycling ‘74 received an order from our department and because the last one was made under my name with my address, they shipped the order to me. What was it? The JazzMutant Lemur.

Oh so sweet it is. I geeked out all day yesterday. Beautiful I tell you and so easy to use! It’s a touch screen input device to control real-time applications. You program your own interface using widgets like sliders, pads, faders, and switches. Then you can write Max/MSP patches that use the widgets to control things. It is so flexible and very pretty.
For one day this was the most expensive thing in my apartment. In fact I think it was the only expensive thing.
