I'm quite happy, as I think I've finally figured out my optimal sleep schedule. I used to sleep from around 11pm until around 8:30am, which is 9.5 hours. I thought I needed this much sleep as I was still sometimes tired during the day. Well, I just recently started sleeping from 11pm to 7am, and I have plenty of energy all day, plus an additional 1.5 hours of waking life! Apparently, I was oversleeping (starting into the next sleep cycle?), which caused me to be groggy the rest of the day. I just figured my body knew how much sleep it needed. Apparently not.

Yes, I'm still here. Been busy with life. I've also been building programs that help me make music. Once I build a bunch of tools and get everything set up in a nice environment I am planning on recording an album. It's very exciting stuff.

In war, some facts less factual

Been busy lately. Here is an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer about utopian communities with a nice section on Arden, my future home. Yay!

Also, go download Nintari's new album, Hands Across Antarctica. You will not be disappointed. It's utterly brillant. I know he put a TON of time, energy, and effort into this.... and he's giving it away for free. So, if you enjoy it, at least let him know. (I love it!)

The Troubling New Face of America by Jimmy Carter

Reporters smuggle knives onto 14 airline flights during Labor Day weekend. It's funny that this comes up. We flew to Chicago last weekend (out of Logan Airport), and Hunter realized after-the-fact that she had her Swiss Army knife in her purse the whole time! This thing has a 3-4 inch blade. Crazy.

Couch potato lifestyle is worse for your health than smoking

Poor diet and lack of exercise cause more illness than smoking, new figures show.

The lifestyle of couch potatoes has overtaken smoking as the major cause of ill-health in EU countries for the first time, the World Health Organisation says.
