What a sad project but amazing implementation and vision. Awesome!

  Your use of the term 'sad' seems to not match that of many of us. I was not informed about its history, so I checked, and discovered that it means "satiated" - so the current use of 'sad' comes from the idea of the discomfort that being burdened by too much nourishment brings. You must mean that the project is very "satiating". Good: surely it can fill us with a most fulfilling nourishment. But I would have used the most unambiguous term.

    Toward the end, the article states "unfortunately I won't be playing this instrument very often, and I most definitely won't practice for hours to improve my left-hand technique. This rather undermines the potential for the Commodordion as a viable musical instrument." I believe there is a certain element of sadness in that. However it's hopeful that he will continue experimenting with the lessons learned, so I wouldn't describe it as sad.

  No, he managed to combine three traditionally uncool things, namely 8 bit computing, accordions and ragtime music, resulting in an underflow of uncoolness which is extremely cool.

    I like all those things though...
