…and here there’s photographic proof. In the below picture I am testing the theory for which if you expose yourself to natural light you fool the circadian cycle into believing you’re not really entitled to feel drowsy. This night my old friend sleeptracker will verify if it worked, if I’ll remember to turn the…
One of the most common question I’ve got in the last year or so had to do with OpenID and if it had a role in out future plans. I can only guess that the OpenID guys received a corresponding question about CardSpace… well, you don’t need to wonder anymore. Dick Hardt of Sxip…
