Working from home and missing the hustle and bustle of your office? Check out soundofcolleagues.com, where you can hear the welcome ring of a phone, chatter of people and their keyboards, the printer and coffee machine and even the office dog (a particularly shrill, whiny dog, maybe a chihuahua).
If you prefer, you can check out mynoise.net, which enables you to "use the noises you most enjoy to mask the noises you don’t want to hear". Choose from white noise, thunder and rain, nature sounds from a European primeval forest and many more idiotic concepts. There are sections such as "I need to calm down" and "I'm desperately trying to put my baby to sleep", although no "my children have just arrived home from school and are running around like madmen" option. I do like "I'm a writer in need of inspiration", which my readers may think I should explore.
Are these people mad? I crave beautiful silence, where my innermost thoughts and creativity reign. Hence I have today registered a new internet domain: johncage.co.uk
Applications are invited from anyone willing to build me a totally silent website, possibly with a [start 4' 33"] button. Maybe some pictures of my inner mind. If you can get there.
This is the third time I’ve published this comment! I’ve almost forgotten my point.
ReplyDeleteHow was johncage.co.uk not already taken?? I foresee this as the start of your career collecting domain curios
