Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

This amazing Kinect hack at the Ableton Boston User Group allows a user to control the sound of a dubstep “wobble” with body movements. They hooked up the Kinect infrared camera to a laptop running Ableton Live, allowing it to send back midi messages to the application.

Perhaps it is only a matter of time before you can dance to music that you are playing with your own movements.
