Tired? Try polyphasic sleep, which is taking a half an hour nap every four hours or so. It worked for Leonardo da Vinci and this guy is at least giving it a (third) shot.

Considering that Linus is waking me up every three hours or so, maybe this would be implementable for me too… And in any case, it sounds interesting.

Another approach is the 28 hour day. I read somewhere, long ago, that a human would naturally have a day cycle of 25–27 hours. The problem of course is that 26 hours don’t divide very naturally with a week. But six days at 28 hours do.

Here’s a robot which is more fun than useful, and it plays guitar. Meet “Crazy J. Be sure to check out the sound clips; Layla sounds pretty impressive and not at all too synthetic!

PS: This appeared yonks ago but i never got around to give it proper visibility then.

Dear Michael,

Sorry for not posting this on Friday. The TNT courier delivered my replacement Axim on Friday afternoon and i’ve been happy as a clam ever since. As agreed, he would call me before he’d arrive, which he did, by thirty seconds. Oh well.

So thanks, Michael and do remember that bonus for your Finnish service people. Christmas is coming and all that.

Noni. Älä tyydy nysväämään projekteja joissa vain ei ole sitä äijyyttä. Rakenna itsellesi äijistä äijein lelu, kannettava, reppuunmenevä, henkilökohtainen liekinheitin. Se on rok.

Ja ei kun makkaraa käristämään.

Tässä toinen liekinheitinprojekti, jotenkin kesympi. Johtuu varmaan vain tekijän habituksesta, ei sen enempää.

(PS: Mistäköhän johtuu että tuntuu kun olisin kirjoittanut tämän jo eilen?)
