Waking Up at 5am to Code →
The more things like this I read, the more I’m motivated to do this myself. So far the whole getting up at 6AM is still working. Let’s hope it stays this way.
Apple's MobileMe Could Have Had a Dropbox-Style... →
Houston said that apparently the team behind the failed cloud service MobileMe wanted to add a Dropbox-style feature directly into OS X (for use with MobileMe) but that the team responsible for the OS X Finder app “wouldn’t prioritize it, or wouldn’t build it” for them.
Well, that sucks.

We talked about being in prison a few days ago. Especially the fact that you can go crazy just bing somewhere alone with nothing to do.

The past few days I’ve been thinking about getting up early myself. Never been much of a morning person, but I’m usually so burned up at the end of the day I can’t get any work done.
