While the Swine Flu is the word on the news today, and the fact that it’s kinda fearful story to hear, a blogger Stephan Zielinski enjoyed it in a different way. And when I say ‘enjoy’, I don’t mean he was jumping for joy, or celebrating its successful sabotage on human health, but somehow it inspired him to create music out of its algorithm. Let me share you the song and the algorithm in a while, but honestly speaking, I can’t understand how a music was created out of it even how many times I read his explanation. And I’m not exactly sure if I need to take biology class again, or music or something. I really don’t know.
Here’s the swine flu hemagglutinin algorithm:
