True North

Source: Bizarro....it is so true!

Bill Vaughn has a couple of good remarks on the subject of New Year:
‘Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to' and

‘An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves'.

An equally truthful one is, ‘Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits' (author unknown).

Sleep. The demesne of Hypnos and Morpheus. Once the playground forthe exhausted geek, now a wasteland of antiproductivity. Are youwriting code? No. Are you pwning n00bs? No. Are you farming gold so youcan buy that mount in Silvermoon? No.

Sleep when you die, man. Staying awake is the only way to get thingsdone anymore. So when your weekly intake of REM is limited to thesingle digits, you need an effective waking mechanism. Something to jogyour mind as well as your body in an effort to pump blood back to yourextremities and grey matter. Clocky is here! All Hail Clocky!

Thislittle wonderful wheeled alarm clock started as an engineeringstudent's project. Having trouble waking up herself, Gauri Nandadeveloped Clocky to shriek annoyingly and effectively, waking you up.The fun doesn't end there, kiddies. It leaps off of your night stand,and drives around your room, making random turns and racing away fromyour grasp. Now you have to get out of bed and hunt the little buggerdown to turn it off.

Now, you're awake, and it's time to get things done. Booya.
