Sleep. Need Sleep.

Haven't blogged in a while. LOTS of news. This could take a while.

National Novel Writing Month. I haven't gotten a lot of sleep this month. 20 straight days of 7 hours of sleep (or often less). I can handle that, right? Check out the novel blog (need to update it too) here. Also, check out my profile on the NaNoWriMo site. I'm actually doing well: I'm less than a day behind!

Help me get a 60GB iPod (Video!). Help yourself get one! Click here.

Sony. They don't deserve my business anymore. They are just stupid. First, they make PS2s that I've heard break without a lot of trouble. Not a big deal for me. Then they go and do some weird thing to ruin Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. That made me angry. Then there is the rootkit scandal. They hide their DRM with a rootkit that opened a backdoor for viruses. Sure, they didn't make the DRM, but they were negligent in not investigating it. Then they use open source code in their player, without acknowledge it, and violating the license agreement. Sony is just stupid. Yet they will survive. I don't know why, but they can't be shaken. I don't want to give them my business though.

Finally, ummm. I forgot. Something for you to do though: listen to the Radio Adventures of Doctor Floyd. It's a great funny (and slightly educational) podcast. Subscribe to the audio and video podcasts at www.DoctorFloyd.com (subscribe to both: they contain different content). New radio season starts in January!
