Simple command line web server for Mac OS
Run this command, in a terminal window, from any directory:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Then you can access web pages in that directory tree. For example, to load a page called index.html (in the same directory) type the following URL into a browser:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html

Sonification of Mass Ave buses, from Harvard to Dudley.
This patch sends requests to the MBTA developer portal to get the current location of buses – using the Max js object. Latitude and Longitude data is mapped to oscillator pitch. Data is polled every 10 seconds, but it seems like the results might be more interesting to poll at a slower rate, because the updates don’t seem that frequent. And buses tend to stop a lot.
MBTA developer portal: https://reactivemusic.net/?p=17511
Here is the get request URL used in the patch:

folder: mbta
patches:
You will not need authentication to run run this patch. It uses the default developer API-key for testing. Please read the terms of service at the MBTA developer portal. Data should not be polled more often than 10 seconds. You can also request your own developer API key from MBTA.
Note: there will be more buses running during rush hours in Boston. Try experimenting with the polling rate and ramp length in the poly-oscillator patch. Also, you can experiment with the pitch range.

Yes its a list.
Most of the examples are broken, but the ideas are great, and so is the cat.
