How Much Do You Sleep?
Personally, I average about 5 to 6.5 hours of sleep each night. I don’t feel compelled to go to bed until I feel sleepy. I see no reason to just lie in bed waiting for sleep to drop-kick me in the throat when I’m not looking.
It turns out that might just be all the sleep I need. A study at Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in La Jolla, CA produced some interesting results.
From Time.com:
Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hr. or more, or less than 6.5 hr., they don’t live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr. Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr.
How much do you sleep do you feel you need to function during the day?
Thanks for the link, AG!

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model; Fabric-skinned Concept Car
I can imagine driving a car built out of wire mesh, carbon fiber and fabric skin. The idea of being able to control the shape of my vehicle via electro-hydraulic devices that manipulate the frame is sexy. I just don’t want to imagine getting into an accident with an SUV in this car.
Versions; Subversion Client for the Mac
Though it’s only in beta right now, Versions is one of the best revision control clients I’ve ever worked with. I’ll definitely be getting this when it’s released.
The Worst Book Ever Written; A Book Review
Just got this hilarious book review from AG. Here’s a snippet:
“Trapped under a beam with the countdown ticking away, the monster just on the other side of the battered door, and my friends are trying to free me, I look up at them and yell, “Go on without me. I’ll be alright. I’ll hold him off while you escape!” And my friends, because they know my sacrifice won’t be in vain, make their getaway and when the monster breaks through just as the explosives go off, I know I died saving the lives of my dearest friends.”
That pretty much sums up my experience reading Aaron Rayburn’s novel, THE SHADOW GOD. I took one for the team, so the rest of you would NEVER have to be subjected to this beast. I beg you, don’t let my selflessness be for nothing. Heed my warning. This is the worst book ever written.
The back cover copy reads “Craig Johnson had two best friends, two caring parents, a hot girlfriend, and a nice truck–not bad for a twenty-year-old.” Already we’re in trouble. The author photo shows Rayburn in all his mid-20s virginal glory. Manson contacts, a black cap turned backwards with a red 666 monogrammed on it, he’s posing next to what looks like a rubber demon. His bio includes the line “He also says that he owes a great deal of gratitude to the Devil . . . for filling his mind with such horrific images.”
If this book is the most horrific thing the devil can come up, I think humanity is safe from the threat of hell.
