Morning sounds: hard drive, baby kicks, shower, hail-like rain, ice crackling in coffee. #
Tonight’s Fringe included Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five.” Tribute to Brubeck drummer Joe Morello, who died this week? #
This morning, a small tornado a mile away, just off the coast. Now, serious thunder. Serious thunder in San Francisco. #
Note in March 17 update to Bloom (Eno/Chilvers iOS ambient app): “Improved polyphony (although Bloom is at its best when it plays sparsely)” #

Dear News Professionals: The end result of a sports event is rarely if ever “breaking news.” #
[email protected] stream v download 1. bitrate, fidelity, continuity (buffer empty) 2. fixed or ephemeral medium; published/withdrawn [trust is key] #
Increasingly wondering if my preference for downloadable (versus streamable-only) music is more political/philosophical than practical. #
Fairly certain the lyrics to the new Burial/Four Tet/Thom Yorke song, “Ego,” were lifted from an early R.E.M. song. #
Great to see @carlstone & @pamelaz in concert last night: solo sets & for 1st time collaborating (mung bean”“inspired performance piece). #

I trust weather reports only slightly more than I do fortune cookies but http://weatherspark.com is great: historical context & nifty UI. #

Thanks @jesperjacobsen & @artofplanning & everyone else at my @Academy_of_Art talk (“Making Stuff Together Separately”) this afternoon. #

Morning sounds: desktop drive/fan (buzz), fridge (hum), passing bus (rumble). #
Japan situation is first serious ongoing news story in memory when email alerts of @latimes have regularly arrived before those of @nytimes. #
