Website of the Week

CodeOrgan
If there's one thing the internet excels at, it's answering questions you hadn't even thought to ask yet. Our example for this week? CodeOrgan! Have you really ever wondered what your favorite website might sound like if it were translated into music? Maybe not, but that's precisely what this website does. Just enter any URL in the space provided, hit "Play This Website," and, using a complicated algorithm, it translates the website's code into music -- or, at the very least, into something with that might be mistaken for music under certain circumstances. And as the content of the page you're playing changes, so too does the song, so that the music that the PRL Blog generates will be different next week than it is today. It's a player piano for the Twenty-first century!
