Disquiet

• I vote we name these two new elements Boris and Sunn O))). #
• Best thing at the end of day isn't the sense of accomplishment. It's the quiet resulting from shutting down desktop computer. #
• 6:00pm bells. Only audible when the windows are open. #
• 1st season of CBC TV series Intelligence is The Wire. 2nd (and final) season is Prison Break. Schaun Tozer's score is strong throughout. #

• Inevitable realization that almost all my posts could be tagged #noiselife #
• Bjork mentions @reactable in new http://bjork.com/ HTML5 website statement. Interface suggests she's playing with @sonicwire. #
• I'm all in for composition-by-accrual, but not UI-by-accrual. I really need to give Disquiet.com a thorough visual cleansing. #

• In cafe whose advertised selling points are in the negative: no wifi, no in-house music. Still, lots of us on cellphone-modem'd laptops. #

• "Dream a Little Dream of Me" came on the cafe radio. It's 80 years old this year. Man, those changes. This will be my next ukulele project. #
