Codeorgan.com, site and sound

This is a very weird and slightly wonderful online gadget-type-thing that you’re either going to love or hate with all of the passion in your hardened techie heart. To put it simply, Codeorgan is nothing more, and nothing less than an intriguing Flash application that turns any web page into music.

Hands on with Google’s Buzz (kill)
