Did you know if you hear a cricket chirp you can get the temperature? They are surprisingly accurate little buggers too. Just count chirps for 17 seconds and add 40 to what you get. (Thanks Discover.) Step into the great outdoors. This piece monitors an accumulating the temperature in cities throughout the world. As the program gathers info, crickets gather in your computer. Soon their mating calls are juxtaposed, the range of weather gets interesting to hear. Sounds a little like a Steve Reich composition, no doubt.
