I’m officially blown away. There’s an article in the Sunday edition of the London Times online that reports on a colorblind painter who is fitted with a device which allows him to paint in color by hearing what he sees. I see a red door and I want to paint it black…R.O.Y.G.B.I.V!

And here in the states, if you are not familiar with the Hyperscore Project at Tewksbury Hospital, take a moment and check out this video. Tod Machover, Professor of Music and Media at the MIT Media Lab, along with MIT graduate students and Berklee College of Music created this project with patients and staff at the hospital.
