Past Week at Twitter.com/Disquiet

  • Just thinking: for moms who like comic books, this is a pretty cool weekend. #
  • [email protected] @vuzhmusic Been looking at HTML5 players that support "standard browsers" & iOS. Like http://html5audio.me/ per @mbytz #
  • In regard to web hurting local record stores, I feel less guilty buying music on Kickstarter cause those albums don't exist yet #
  • Corresponded with publicist who quickly accepted "No thank you" as reply: "thanks for listening! best I can ask for." Please clone her. #
  • This morning's backdrop: vinyl surface noise and harmonium. #
  • Regulation should require browsers to say what you don't see: iOS, Android, etc. Milan Kundera Unified Web Transparency Act. #
  • Occasional reminder: if you do the Facebook, there's a Disquiet page for that: http://www.facebook.com/disquiet.fb #
  • RT @osakimandias When the revolution comes, those who set prices on HDMI cables (aka 6' of plastic/copper) will be first up against the wall #

  • Very productive day. Time for Puerto Rican food. #
  • Trenchant drones #
  • If you live in #415 & are wondering when it's gonna rain, my guess is: a few days, soon as I'm done with these writing/editing/etc. projects #
  • The reported promise of HTML5 reminds me of that old joke about how many Microsoft engineers it takes to change a lightbulb. #
  • Kinda, right? @falsereactions Wait…really?! They're going to make us wait 3 full years, all while defanging Adobe platforms? Ridiculous. #
  • HTML5 has a 2014 target — in time for the iPad 5, maybe iPad 6. #
  • When will HTML5 be ready for prime time? My iPad 2 is asking. #
  • Yeah, that's part of why I increasingly think of industrial music and "industrial industrial music." RT @disquiet Or "industrial music"… #
  • Don't matter how up to date you are w/ commercial music. W/o knowing netlabels like test tube & Resting Bell, you don't know what's going on #
  • It might be useful to stop calling it commercial music and start calling it commerce music. #
  • [email protected] Is there a reason most, if not all, HTML5 audio players don't show meta data (title, act) in the interface? http://bit.ly/iZCLJK #
  • This is "molto interessante." Someone has translated my "netlabel checklist" into Italian: http://goo.gl/NqTc2 #copyleft #excellent #

  • iPad app I've used the most this week: Penultimate, jotting notes while reading (physical) book w/o stopping to pick up pen #
  • Song cue ending last night's Good Wife was one of the great TV-drama music moments this year: tone-setting, game-changing @GoodWifeWriters #
  • Buddha Machines on stun. #
  • Just clicked on actual web ad, one of those squares appearing in margin of a web page, due to a book having a Bruce Sterling quote. #
  • After feeding my 8-month-old avocado, I think I know what a happy baby Vulcan vampire would look like. #
  • Morning sounds: bird song, breathing of sleeping baby, hard drive/fan, refrigerator hum. #
  • Hoping that the late Osama Bin Laden never had time to read Daniel Suarez's novel Daemon. #
  • Successive tweets: (1) @sublamp closed tunnels under LAX; suspicious package. (2) @Shocklee BOMB SQUAD Tactical Beats and Sample Artillery. #
  • New version of Penultimate iPad app includes Paper Shop with alternate background papers, including 10 types of sheet music. #
  • "This update is free because you own a previous version." In contrast with what other kind of update? #ipad #ios #idontknow #

  • Evening sounds: toothbrush, water, Tivo hard drive, TV crackling to a quiet after being turned off, minor traffic, heater. #
  • Rhythmic early-evening listen: http://goo.gl/obUlD ("record a number of 'everyday' sounds, and then combine them into a musical statement") #
  • Oh, two more Win7 freeware musts: WinSplit Revolution and Volumouse. I depend on them so much they've become invisible to me. #

  • My kinda open source: tamale store gives classes on making tamales. Businesses large & small could learn from that model. #

  • Based on Toy Story 3, it's clear that Mrs Potato Head would be a natural at Portal 2. #
  • Ticket purchased for new Takeshi Kitano film, Outrage, tonight. Cannot wait. Prep listening: Morricone + DJ Krush, perhaps simultaneously. #
  • Playing Portal after watching Source Code is a little mentally too close for comfort. #
  • RT @sideb0ard any suggestions for term for when you get addicted to an album and listen to it for 2 weeks solid at expense of all else? #
