[therain] has added a MIDI port to his Nintendo DS. It's just a two wire connection so it's pretty easy if you've got an extra cart laying around. As a demo, he wrote a program that uses the touchpad to act as two Control Change devices. One is the X value and the other the Y so it behaves similar to the Korg Kaoss pad. He's working on a sequencer as well.

4. Steve is a standalone complex, the original steve does not even have to have ever existed, because the steve copycats will not let him dissapear, steve refrained from posting, and yet their were numerous steve led posts. Now I am only taking steve's word that he has not posted, but it seems like he is telling the truth on that. steve is no longer a person, but an idea and that is going to be a problem that will haunt hackaday for years to come. too bad Hackaday does not have the ability for an avatar, then there would be a symbol for steve, and i guarantee that eventually there would be a tee shirt for steve and the hatred of leds. Anyways Nice hack, makes me wish i had a DS.

6. @kroft Probably not a bad idea @david The symbol would read: "I thought what'd I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." lol

11. Kind of a funny question, the possibility of someone being impersonated on a public, no registration forum. So lets say that someone does impersonate steve... do they have any less claim to stevie-ness than anyone else? Is the steve that exists now even the original steve? Since we often don't know which post comes from which steve, our perception of steve has become fundamentally severed from any material reality. Steve is now only symbolicly an individual. Indeed, the open framework which undergirds the comment section makes us all symbolic creatures because there is no nescessity that what we say in this space has any correspondance to a single physical creator. The impurity in such logic, of course, is that if the various steves were to disappear so would steve, he does not truly "stand alone" so to speak.

20. 1337. I wish I had a ds to try this on. Maybe you could use it as a bridge between wifi (some DSs have it) and a stero system.
