Bjork’s next album comes with free cryptocurrency #MusicMonday
Bjork has always found a way to incorporate new technology into her work. Now the musical artist is getting into the Cryptocurrency market. Via Engadget:
Everyone purchasing forthcoming album Utopia will get 100 Audiocoins — the two-year-old cryptocurrency originally designed for the music industry (currently worth around $0.19 each) — and will have the chance to earn more, along with other “crypto rewards”, by interacting with Bjork online and attending her concerts. It’s not clear yet exactly how that will work, but the project does have the potential to make great strides in bringing the idea of cryptocurrency to the masses. And it makes sense that Bjork, who’s had some pretty curious ideas in her time, would be the person to do that.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
