Past Week at Twitter.com/Disquiet

Few sounds combine the promise of comfort and the threat of bodily harm like that of a fast-moving ceiling fan in a small bedroom. #
RIP, the Kinks' Pete Quaife (b. 1943) — no surprise the band's bassist was its peacemaker: http://is.gd/d4XPV #
Trying to reconcile my deep affection for San Francisco's fog horns with the not unrelated phenomenon of multi-hour flight delays. #
So, @ascap attacks @creativecommons in fundraising letter. It's like attacking the Quakers. Good discussion going at http://is.gd/d2SzC #
iTunes challenges Microsoft's cumbersome bloatware: Hour into iOS 4 upgrade, 8gig Touch (gen 2) is 1/40th of way along status bar #cancel #
On a good day, using @rjdj in the city can feel like being in an extended sequence from Michael Winterbottom's film Code 46. #
Thank you, iTunes 9.2.0.61, for needlessly reorganizing all my iPod Touch apps into alphabetical order when upgrading yesterday evening. #
The new @hootsuite (a Twitter-management tool) web interface is great: better use of screen-space plus theming. #
Travel rule: don't install new software on laptop the night before a trip. #
The album Les Chinoiseries by Onra makes the perfect background music to recent novel For the Win by @doctorow #
Emerging from many continuous hours in the King Tubby & Co. channel at @grooveshark #
That MC Escher time of the year in San Francisco, when the color of the daytime sky matches that of the street. #
Drunk old man on the bus making much noise about preponderance of cellphones, in so many words. I think Roddy Piper played him in the movie. #
Wandered outta Matmos/So Percussion show on early side, fascinated as always so many people pay for opportunity to talk through a concert. #
The voiceover following today's noon test alarm in San Francisco sounded particularly placid, and thus all the more Orwellian. #
While using @rjdj on iPod Touch on bus, didn't realize that some of the audio doubling was a child repeating the automated announcements. #
City living means that a slight alteration in the sound of your neighbor's shower suggests that a new nozzle has been purchased. #
Tonight: Matmos & So Percussion @rickshawstopsf — very much looking forward to this. #
Disappointed iOS4 won't hook gen2 iPod Touch with Bluetooth keyboard. No luck on my G1 either. I could do equivalent 10 years ago on Palm. #
RIP, loopers-delight.com founder Kim Flint, aka @kimatorium — via @zoecello & @kingnever #
Dryer full, or assault-by-helicopter? #
Today I'll listen to albums I permanently borrowed from my dad when I left for college, notably Ornette Coleman's Body Meta. #mydadsmusic #
RT @mmaddencomics: RT @ubuweb: Cardew's score for 'Treatise' (1963-67): http://is.gd/cVl2h <- could have been in Abstract #Comics anthology #
