    Dag always seems like a place out of nowhere; a spot that has its own heartbeat, its own rhythm. There's a drummer over there, a guitar in the corner and a weird symphony that you can't shake loose once you hear it.  But it doesn't really exist.  Then again it does ... every time you look away there's a ghost swaying slowly ... making you move with the violin as the flute confuses you because it's not the jazz you expected at all.  It's Dag.

    Yes, even boiling water doesn't have to take so long.
    The actual tradeoffs are interesting (& not too technical)

    I don't know if all you guys are familiar with this show or not. It was on Netflix a couple of years ago. I have an aside about it.
