At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I\u2019ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I find knowing I\u2019ll revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at\u00a0post.lurk.org\/@disquiet<\/a>), and I\u2019m also trying out\u00a0a few others<\/a>. And I generally take weekends off social media.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0Had an MRI for an old wrist injury, and yes, throughout the noisy process I thought, \u201cI think I have this album.\u201d Just wasn\u2019t sure if it was by Mark Fell or Zimoun, or someone whose name I\u2019d forgotten. And despite the racket, I did fall asleep, much to my surprise.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0It occurs to me that popcorn is the rare food item for which the sizable majority of the times I\u2019ve eaten it has been in the dark.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0I feel another burst of blog evangelism coming on, but for the moment I\u2019ll just say that if you\u2019ve been thinking of starting a blog, then take this message as a sign that, yes, you should start a blog. In short: help make the web more human.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0Just under two weeks until the 700th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto music community project. It\u2019ll begin on May 29.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0That thing where you update a favorite piece of software and immediately notice a new issue that you know is gonna cause their support line a heap of pain for the next few days<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0We\u2019re living in a golden age of movie\/TV scores, not just the quality of the music, but the availability of the recordings, especially as it regards TV, for which album releases didn\u2019t exist back in the age of vinyl\/cassettes\/CDs at the scale they do now.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0A beautiful sunny day means plenty of emergency vehicles flying by on their way toward the ocean<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0Finished reading the first Bosch novel, The Black Echo<\/em> (my ninth novel of this year), while in the back seat of a car headed south from very Northern California, the sort of zone where handmade roadside signs announce the future site of an imagined state of Jefferson. When the book ended, I immediately and seamlessly used my phone as a modem so I could \u2014 despite a weak signal and thanks to a library system at that moment still a five-hour drive away \u2014 put the second book in the series, The Black Ice<\/em>, on my Kindle, and settled right in. Almost halfway done already. Also making progress on Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing\u2019s The Mushroom at the End of the World<\/em> and Sandro Veronesi\u2019s The Hummingbird<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
