This happens to me. Last night listening to Aretha signing “I say a little prayer” with a bout of insomnia. Whammo.

Experiencing musical frisson is associated with increased connectivity between the sections of the brain responsible for processing auditory information (specifically the anterior insula) and for reward processing: in other words, the greater the volume of white matter connectivity between those areas of the brain, the more likely an individual is to experience chills. Experiencing musical frisson is also associated with openness to experience.

After two days of taking me all the way to the park and through half of it, and despite demanding to go out repeatedly, freezing the house up—and a couple of episodes of standing on the grass barking at the fence—today when we embarked on walkies the dog decided it was too windy and didn't want to go past the front meadow. Dogs.

All three cats appeared and got fed.

Windshield, or windscreen for the uk peeps, was replaced on my car. It was close to becoming two separate pieces, as the crack grew across the visible area. 400$ lighter in my pocketbook, and I wish I could have waited until winter was over.

🎧 I’ve been running the FiiO KA11 with my Etymotic IEMs lately, and the setup keeps surprising me. The sound is clean and detailed, especially with lossless tracks. Swapping to Shure foam tips made an even bigger difference — the fit is snug, the seal is better, and the bass feels more grounded. Simple gear, genuinely great listening.

The KA11 is the replacement DAC for the Apple 3.5mm discontinued audio dongle.

Today was a pretty day, but with a chill wind. My laundry tossed merrily. Prudence came to cautiously watch me corral leaves, and got fed. Monty was snoozing on a neighbour's roof. The dog was happy to go for a real walkies.

The world today feels like someone accidentally dropped Ice‑Nine into the global punch bowl. One bad idea freezes an entire industry, one meme freezes everyone’s brain, and my coffee freezes before I can drink it. We’re basically skating across the ice, pretending this is fine, hoping nobody slips and triggers the grand, crunchy apocalypse. Fun times.

We went to the San Jose library. Traffic was already bad by a little after 2:00. When we came back, the day was still nice enough that the dog thought about it, then took me on a real walk. Later it rained a little bit on my laundry.

Huge thanks to my amazing wife for letting me crash after supper tonight. Last night with our little one was nonstop, and I held the fort but didn’t sleep a minute. That short nap felt like a full reset. Grateful for a partner who sees when I’m running on fumes.

Grey skies, cold rain, and a stubborn 0°C chill — today feels like Denmark shipped us a sample of its winter. Not dramatic, not scenic, just endlessly damp and quietly miserable. The kind of weather that seeps into your mood and makes a warm drink feel like a small victory.
