Birthday meme

Eh, why not? (From hyun, but oft-spotted in the past few days.)

Look up your birthday on Wikipedia and list the following:

Three facts:
1881 - China and Russia sign the Sino-Russian Ili Treaty.
1942 - The Voice of America begins broadcasting.
1981 - Buckingham Palace announces the engagement of The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.

Two births:
1786 - Wilhelm Grimm, German philologist and folklorist
1955 - Steve Jobs, American computer pioneer

One death:
2001 - Claude E. Shannon, American information theorist

What I'm a comp sci major

Röyksopp single

Uploaded enough music to last a week of recs. XD

Röyksopp - Beautiful Day Without You (Album Version)
Röyksopp - Beautiful Day Without You (Cass and Mangan Living Underdog Remix)
Röyksopp - Beautiful Day Without You (Rex The Dog Remix)
Röyksopp - Beautiful Day Without You (Wighnomy and Robag Wruhmes Spekkfakkel Remikks)

I like the Wighnomy remix best - it's de-structured, pensive, serene - but I do grow fonder of the RTD mix as I listen to it more. The problem is that (as Cis pointed out) Rex mixes buff up the source material more than they radically reconstruct it, and the original "Beautiful Day Without You" is not in the same league as mighty electro-beasts "Heartbeats", "Drop The Pressure" or "Photographic". *g* Plus if you are expecting the ball to be hit out of the park with every swing you feel let down if it merely lands in the first row of bleachers. I'd probably enjoy it a lot if I heard it when dancing.

If you want to grab songs from the spell-your-name meme best do it soon, I'll be taking them down in a couple of days. They're all favorites, and some are rather different fare from the usual featured on this LJ.
