The em-dash followed by the open quote is the bÃªte noire of the ebook. #
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass happening a few blocks from my house. From here it's muffled, more like Almost Certainly Shoegaze. #
Thus far (10% in), Reamde is my favorite Neal Stephenson since Cryptonomicon. The plumbing of MMORGs is fascinating: R&D&D. #
Noon carillon filtered through library's walls, windows, and air conditioning. #
Listening to audiobooks in "fast" mode means expecting the narrator at any moment to interject, "I want to be … a dentist!" #

Debating which makes the stronger icon for sound: the waveform or the spectrogram: http://t.co/wbOIOT9B #
Special thanks to @vinylsaurus (né Scott Faulkner) for drawing my Twitter background for the coming month. #
RIP, Leonard Dillon (b. 1942), cofounder of ska group the Ethiopians. #
The Message: RIP, Sugar Hill Records founder Sylvia Robinson (b. 1936). #
Christian Marclay exhibit at Fraenkel in San Francisco highly recommended. Cyanotypes of cassettes, plus splendid video of LP playfulness. #
The seat cushions in this cafe suggest it is best for all involved that I focus on sound not smell. #
The Kindle Fire doesn't have a microphone? #
The galleries today at 49 Geary in oddly warm San Francisco were all humming with window fans. #
Being in your home while construction to your home is taking place is like the the Fantastic Voyage of dentistry. #
Occasional reminder: if you do The Facebook, there's a Disquiet.com page for that: http://t.co/DNmSGwqD #
My http://t.co/xOB96gVV page was powered by @delicious but the Delicious relaunch has broken it. #
Tuesday noon siren in San Francisco. Multi-speaker echo effect especially clear, as house lacks several windows (having them replaced today) #
I submit that the Thunderbird requirements for Windows 7 understate the hardware minimums: http://t.co/Cw8Jw8Gm #
Every six months someone dies who was "considered the founder of bluegrass." #
Frotz: No iPad should be without one. #
The music of a dry cleaner: http://t.co/MToXjm9M (with video) #
Enjoying the Daemon/Ready Player One/Reamde gamer-inspired novels? Solid piece on AmberMUSH MUD's influence on writers: http://t.co/cRiXMkOR #
Forgot to mark my @goodreads review of Davis' Satie bio for spoilers. Hope people don't mind I note Satie dies. #theideaofthespoilerisstupid #
Very much looking forward to APE this weekend. Hope to have a new Sketches of Sound mini together but may have to just hand out last year's. #
Proj Gutenberg founder had no mobile phone, yet his work made my phone valuable by letting me read books: http://t.co/0PNNVIA9 via @glennf #
Haven't used desktop in two weeks. Benefits of (relative) quiet of laptop outweigh noise of fans and drives. #nextstepssd #
Album "showcases [X]'s award winning songwriting which has earned her multiple awards" #greatmomentsinmusicpr #
Stopped by Long Now as part of the @mechanicrawl. Heard the 10k-year bells. Now on to the SS Jeremiah O'Brien. #
