Noisier is Better

I wrote about how small my previous apartment was on my old blog. Thankfully, the new apartment in Brooklyn is twice as big — although if you've read about my old place, you'll deduce, as I have, that twice as big as "a shoe box" is just two shoe boxes.

So, yes, I still live in a small apartment. This means that my desk is in the same room as the TV, which can make things difficult when I'm trying to write a blog entry and my wife wants to watch Law & Order: SVU. The solution? I don a pair of headphones and turn to Simply Noise, the "best free white noise generator on the Internet." If you're looking for a white noise generator (and, really, who isn't?), I highly recommend it. Personally, I use the Brown Noise setting, which covers up background noise better and is waaay more masculine than the Pink Noise setting.

Postscript: Young parents out there may ask if I've tried using Simply Noise to help put the baby to sleep. The answer is yes, but not since she was three months old. And even then, we only tried it once or twice — it was much more convenient to use the Sleep Sheep. Consider that a recommendation.
