January's issue of Wired Magazine features an entire section all about speed. No, not the drug or the movie, but the scalar quantity.
One of my favorite features in the speed section was on the world record setter for fastest guitar playing: a 28-year-old named John Taylor. Apparently, in order to set the record or beat the current record, you have to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" because the judges were sick of people just playing one note over and over again.
Well, I just had to see his 600 bpm rendition of the song myself, so I mosied on over to YouTube and found it. It's pretty amazing.
So Merry (early) Christmas to you, reader!
