Was scrolling through microsoft.com's gallery of gadgets early this week (or maybe last week), looking for a multiple-clock gadget that I could use to show more than one time zone, when I stumbled across photo-bon's piano gadget. I downloaded the thing and now I've got a new toy when I want to take a break from surfing the net, doing something with a microsoft office program, or some other activity necessitating my laptop.
The piano gadget has the low F to soprano E keys, or basically the whole middle octave and a few more keys higher and lower. You can use the mouse or the keyboard to play it. I suspect anyone who's ever played a real piano would pick the keyboard over the mouse. Unfortunately, you can't play more than one note at once. It serves well to give me a few minutes of fun, especially when I try to oido a melody that decides to pop into my head ... with the lyrics from a website open in a browser window as a plus. My Kawai will get jealous. ha ha ha!
