I'm on a very slow dialup connection on a laptop in Spain this week, so very few posts, and no pretty pictures. Tommy Walker III writes to let me know about the Freesound Project, with little explanation other than that "Its amazing...". It is: "a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps, released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License." Sounds great... for people not on dodgy dialup connections in Spain.
