stormdog | Music to Code by

As part of helping Danae with some research, I'm going through approximately 1400 URLs pulled from Twitter and coding them into various categories. As part of this, I had more than a passing exposure to dubstep for the first time and found that I really enjoy some of it. It's great for doing something generaly mindless like URL coding. I think it might be good for driving too. Some of the bass makes me think of a giant CNC machine being told by software to exceed the maximum travel of its moving parts, grinding its motor as it tries. I guess in that way it makes me think of the initializing noises that 5.25" and, to a lesser extent, 3.5" floppy drives made when you boot a computer. It's kind of soothing; I can imagine huge machinery in operation around me. Kind of like when I had a CAT scan of my brain a year or so back; that process was pleasant and relaxing for me too.
