vDraw lets you draw with your voice - Time Waster

vDraw (or voicedraw) is a Flash-based toy that uses your microphone to let you draw images. Supposedly, when you make a low-volume sound, the line turns counterclockwise. A medium-volume voice (or absolute silence, in my case) will draw a straight line, and a high-volume sound will turn the line clockwise.

Seeing as how my singing voice is not exactly my best feature, I was unable to render my crowd-pleasing ant-dog on this medium. Still, I did manage to create a closed shape by making odd sounds at the correct moments.

A fun experiment to try is putting on a song at low volume (or setting your mic to a very low input level) and watching the pattern the song generates. I played an Eels track and it made a loopy-looking pattern, which seemed fitting.
