Life of Pi Ep.79: My cat sat on the lid. So I moved.

Published · 35s

A musical fidget slider plays Scott Joplin's The Entertainer one slide at a time, and with the cat pinning the lid, Pi slides his own body underneath to keep the tune going. This is an echoPi video. echoPi is an EDC fidget slider and pocketable instrument: its clicks are real physical stops you can set up in the app, and every click can play a note. Turn the sound off and it becomes a quiet fidget for the office. echoPi is in development.

A cat flops onto Pi's lid mid-song, and the lid will not budge.

Every slide between lid and body plays the next note, whichever half moves, so Pi tap-dances under the sleeping cat to finish The Entertainer.

Music: Scott Joplin, The Entertainer (1902, public domain), own arrangement.
