Today should be my last day of having to get up at 5:30. Of course I woke up a lot last night, and gave up trying to get back to sleep at about 4:10. On the up side, I muled gems and both my barb and sorcy are about to level. But starting tomorrow I'm moving to work-at-home and a new cubicle farm
Yes I'm an attorney who works in a cube farm, yes it's not only disgraceful but hard to be productive in that environment and leads to embarrassment and admonishment by Judges for the noise when I am called into impromptu conferences
downtown which is metro accessible. This means I don't need to get up hyper early to beat traffic anymore. The traffic issue was preceded by law school needs. So it'll be hard to get up at 6:30 instead of 5:30, but that's still early and will put me on a schedule more compatible with humans.

To my frustration, this site http://www.strstd.com/ auto-pilots the 5/3/1 program. I mean once I made the spreadsheet it was easy to update and modify, but still.

Study finds IE users have lower iqs than all other browsers.

Go ahead and argue about causation or that mainstream isn't necessarily stupid. I'd like to see this same sort of study done on music taste, television watched...
EDIT - HOAX oops

had the BBC not fallen for a practical joke, it might be interesting.

I had been under the impression you were something of a night owl but I don't see how you could keep that up waking up at 5:30 or 6:30am. Would've been a funny study if it hadn't been a hoax.

The thing about urban myths is they spread as they are so compelling...here a hoax makes me less embarrassed. I'm the first to say wider appeal increases the dumbnation.
