It Awakes!

Oog. I went to sleep at 10:00 pm with the intent of getting up at 7:00 am. Set the alarm and everything. When 7:00 came, I just couldn't drag myself out of bed; nor at 8:30, nor at 9:30. Finally around 10:30 I felt like I'd had barely enough sleep. Yawn!

Now, where's my coffee?

Sleep Wasted.

Sometimes getting up after a long sleep is very similar in feeling to have had far too many beers in too short a time (including the need to urinate -- but that's beside the point). I just finished muzzily reading LJ and got to the end of the new entries. Then I sat here for a few moments and started reading LJ. Of course, all of the entries were familiar and I got really puzzled.

I'm sitting here in a daze thinking that I've already completed my morning reading session and haven't yet finished my first coffee. How could that happen? Slowly it dawned on me that I have yet to read the comics, or slashdot, or any of my science-oriented mailling lists. So, now I think I will finish this coffee (*gulp*) go get some more, and maybe a bit of breakfast, and then come back and read the comics.

At some point, with any luck, my brain will wake up.

A good open source business plan.

I've got a project in the works to web-publish a bunch of the various open-source-based business plans I've come up with over the years. This plan wasn't thought up by me, but definitely looks viable. Just another example of a way to make money from free software.

'New' Theory about Human Evolution.

According to this article it seems there is a new theory about that not long after we first walked upright, selection pressures molded humans into the long-distance runners of the ape kingdom. I first heard this over 20 years ago. Why is it news now?
