Badass set up!

Ok folks, what we got here is:

In the top vimeo video it shows a "Token", a multi-touch display platform, along with "Emulator", a multi-touch MIDI controller software device.

"Token" has been created by Rodrigo Campos Santiago de Chile. Its general purpose is to raise the status of a "live performance" to the next level.

This version of "Token" in the video is a prototype, the creator is working on the final version, which will make way for its early commercialization. For now, it is not for sale nor have they determined its value.

"Emulator" created by Smithson Martin Inc.

The software is designed to work with tablet PCs, stand alone multi-touch LCDs, and rear projection touch screens.

The first Version 1.0 includes layout 100% compatible with Traktor Pro internal mode, future upgrades include Traktor exteral mode and new layouts for Deckadance, Virtual DJ, Ableton, Serato and many more.

A demo version of "Emulator" is available at:

Also, for note:

A "Token" multi-touch display is not a must for the "Emulator" software. Although, the "Token" is bitchin', you can find other multi-touch LCD screens at:

The missing link...

"____ is patient, ____ is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ____ does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ____ never fails."

What am I missing?..

Hello, stranger... May I help you?

Chen Fuchao (man with the hat), a man heavily in debt and suffering from depression, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by, Lai Jiansheng, (left) came up, shook his hand and pushed him off the ledge.

MMA news...

-Chael Sonnen tested positive for using Performance-Enhancing Drugs at UFC 117-

Chael Sonnen, the UFC middleweight contender who nearly defeated champion Anderson Silva in August, tested positive for steroid use the day of the fight, California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd said Sunday.

Sonnen will have 30 days to appeal his 1 year suspension and a $2,500 fine. UFC's plans for a Sonnen-Silva rematch on Feb. 6th 2011 in Las Vegas, NV may not take place.

Sonnen received written notification of his positive sample in a letter the athletic commission sent Friday. Dodd said Sonnen’s positive test emerged from a urine sample he gave before the fight that was processed through the UCLA Olympic drug-testing lab.

Sonnen nearly became the first man to beat Anderson Silva since the Brazilian became champion in 2006. Sonnen won all four rounds on the judges scorecards, but was then submitted in the fifth. Sonnen drew attention by trash-talking Silva and UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, and also denied a recording in which he was alleged to have said cyclist Lance Armstrong “gave himself cancer” by using performance-enhancing drugs.

Silva’s manager Ed Soares, who engaged in some heated exchanges via the media in the build up to the fight, was stunned when asked for his reaction. “If it’s true, I feel really bad for him,” said Soares. “I know he did it to himself but it is really sad, he put on such a great performance that night. It is just a shame it will be tarnished.”

The UFC said they will not punish or cut Chael Sonnen. Dana White responds... "When one of them fails a test, the government is going to fine them and suspend them and tell them they can’t make a living for a year. So should I come in after they’ve already lost the ability to make a living for a year and been fined all this money and, in the worst economic disaster in the history of the world, fine them another huge amount and take away their ability to make a living even longer?"

In other news...

According to Jon Jones' agent Malki Kawa, the UFC fighter is almost certain to square off against the winner of Ryan Bader vs Minotoro Nogueira UFC 119 bout.
