Just a quick and weird one here: Artist/Scientist Cassiel uses his mighty brain to get Live + Max for Live + MXJ + Jython (the last two, no I don't know either) to capture a real-time feed from every public Tweet in the world and display it as clips in Ableton Live.
And yes, that's all that it does. No point in it at all, except showing off Cassiel's ginormous skills; he immediately regrets it as soon as the utter banality of tweets takes over his screen.
While we'd rather see something that makes Ableton cure cancer (the only thing Ableton users don't seem able to do with it is some decent music, and I am one of them) one has to marvel at this particular achievement of genius and geekiness.
Here below the link to the video (yes, humiliate yourself and admit that now you WANT to see this, so much so that you have to click on the link to READ THE FULL POST)

Check Cassiel's other videos for more regular Monome futility, lots of impressive stuff.
Seriously, if this guy could think about using his mind for something like world peace...
