"I glance past the small form of the Macintosh and ponder that idea while this file saves. The drone of the disk and the fan seems to lull into a resonant frequency, with the desk, the chair, and my body and brain connected to them."

I remember this feeling.

Whenever my normally-silent macbook needs to fire on its fans (compilation, DB restores, or any mid-sized 3D render) I love the audible reminder of how unfathomably hard it's working, and (by extension) what cool stuff is going on behind the scenes.
