The unconscious mind.
My alarm went off at 8:30 this morning.
*bee-da-be-boo bee-da-be-boo* (I memorized this rhythm when I was 10...)
I woke up, got out of bed, trudged across the room, hit the snooze button, and flopped back into bed.
-3 minutes later-
*bee-da-be-boo bee-da-be-boo*
Again: out of bed, across room, snooze, flop.
Repeat every 3 minutes until 9 (when I remembered I had a meeting to get to and woke up)
What confuses me though is that the entire time I was doing this get up and snooze routine... I was convinced I was conducting a sports interview.
...yeah, makes no sense to me either.

Can't sleep.
My mind is racing.
Actually, cluttered is a more accurate way to view it, but one way or another, I'm awake. I have a 9 am meeting at work, and I'm not asleep. Can I say "this is not restful" any other way?
So, instead of sleeping, I'm reading an interview on Kicksology.net with Wilson Smith III, and I just read a quote that I really like. (Well, a meta-quote... a quote of a quote)
"When I studied architecture in school one of my professors said: "We're teaching you about architecture. We're not necessarily making you an architect." The great thing about that way of looking at it is that once you understand the concept of how to put a building together, you can apply that to almost anything."
Yeah, I like that.

Practicing What I Preach
Considering how much I've been talking / thinking / ranting about flash websites lately, I figured I really should do what I talk about. That is, if I'm going to champion standards based sites, I should learn to do the shiny effects using standards based tech.
So that's what I'm doing, currently making a css, xhtml, javascript (prototype & scriptaculous at the moment) clone of the flash site that Nina has been working on.
...thus far I've got the little bar of posts. But hey, I literally just picked up scriptaculous and prototype last night.

Shit...
It's 1:30, I'm about 75% done sewing a project... and my needle just broke.
Time to head home and see if I have any spares.
