A news post in the new year

I’m cleaning out my computer stuff and getting everything organized. That means going through my RSS feed reader and reading all the things I marked to read later, saving the articles I want to save for later, and maybe commenting on a few of them on my blog.

First up, scientific proof that I’m smart to sleep in late. First, they say I’m getting the sleep I actually need. Second, night owls are more creative. And third, I’m not stressing my body out so early in the morning. There we go. I’m going to sleep in a bit tomorrow I think.

And how many of these things did you know? BBC’s 100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year. I didn’t know most of them. It’s a fascinating list.

Now, I use technology a lot, and did quite a bit of texting while I was on a trip recently, which frequently left me giggling. But when did naked pictures become flirting? That’s not flirting. That’s stupid.42D

Online vs. print for reading? I know I prefer reading on paper. In my classes, a lot of the articles we are asked to read are available on the computer, but just about everyone prints them all off and reads them that way. They’re more portible that way and you can still touch it. Don’t underestimate touch.

And I am feeling a bit tired after traveling 584 million miles last year.
