- 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. #

- 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 #

- 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 #

- 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. #

- Fresh Win7 install. Freeware shoutout: InputDirector, Filezilla, Resoph, DropBox, Simplenote, QMP, 7Zip, Dark Room, GIMP, Keypass, Orzeszek #
- My kinda open source: tamale store gives classes on making tamales. Businesses large & small could learn from that model. #

- All hail Grace van Cutsem, the mascot of noise pollution. http://goo.gl/K6ymJ #
- 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? #
- RT @osakimandias Sunny Saturday morning carries the scent of Spring, and the wind in the trees sounds like applause for a changing season. #
