Ten plus Two Times Five
hernick | Nov 3 2005
Today, I read Procrastination hack: ?(10+2)*5?. I liked the concept! But syncing myself to a alarm? Urgh. Painful stuff. I hate buzzers. So I invoked the power of Open Source: I fired up Hydrogen, a drum machine. I laid down 12 minutes of beats; the beats synchronise you to the hack. I call it Ten Plus Two - Version One. Download it. Play it in a loop. The beat track itself is a hack. And if you people like it, I'll make a better one. Hell, I'll make a better one anyway. Why? It works for me! Discuss. 19 Comments

10 + 2 * 5 has really helped me break through chaotic or stalled days, but I've just done it by glancing at the clock on my computer or phone. How dull can you get? How much more inspiring it would be to work to a beat! I must try this! » POSTED IN:
