Here's another interesting episode of the same show (I've got a secret) - it's a 17 year old Ray Kurzweil plaing the piano. His secret is that he wrote a computer program that made the music he's playing. Pretty impressive for a 17 year old in 1965...<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Neivqp2K4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Neivqp2K4</a>

Apparently Atlantic is now combing Reddit for old news? Like six months ago news?

I'm not sure why the article is saying this video is <i>now</i> on YouTube. The video pages says it was uploaded in 2009.

It's somehow fitting that the YouTube user who posted this also has a number of "OUR CATS..." videos.

These crossovers of time are fascinating and interesting to research i.e. people who used the internet before the airplane was invented.

They really got that really quickly, and it was sponsored by tobacco.
