Review this chart to help you determine the best Sleep Discipline for you. Notice that the more naps you take during the day, the less sleep you will need at night. Conversely, the shorter your core sleep, the more strictly you will need to follow your schedule. The less Total Sleep you get, the more severe the sleep deprivation in the adjustment phase will be, however the more sever the sleep dep., the quicker your body will adjust to the Discipline.

# 20 min Naps	Core Sleep (hrs)	Total Sleep (hrs)	Net Benefit (vs 8 hrs)	Nap Sched. Flexibility	Nickname

This is actually fascinating. I've never seen so concisely laid out with the actual options you could go with.

You can sleep when you're dead. *grin*

Leave it all out on the field. That's what me and my friend Mark used to say in Cross Country -- after all, that's what our idol Julia Stamps did. She was a high school champion cross-country runner who routinely puked after races.

We thought that was hardcore. Actually, I still do.

The trick to doing well with these things is to be in a place where people are saying, Hey, that's a crazy idea. If you're right, there's the opportunity to produce something really big. You want to be one to three years early. You want to start before others think it's an easy idea. It's much harder to be successful when 10 similar things are all being financed.

This is one of the tougher parts of entrepreneurship -- it's entirely unclear to most passive third parties what startup ideas are brilliant, and which ones are just insane.

Being early certainly has its benefits too. But just because lame competitors are getting funded doesn't mean you can't whoop them. It's just a little tougher.

Though if we wanted an easy life, we probably wouldn't want to start companies, now would we?

This is purely ornamental, and looks cool. Someone decided it would be cool to mod the apple logo into its own monitor. Be the coolest guy in the cafe, you know.

It reminds me of back when I worked at Microsoft. There was a big initiative among the mobile computing teams -- getting these mini monitors working so that you could check your next appointment / read your email without ever opening your laptop.

That's because standby mode sucked so much on Windows (kind of still sucks today, compared to OS X) -- rather than fix standby, it was decided that lets make ANOTHER device that you could tell OEMs to make and built into the outside of the laptop so people don't even have to open their laptops anymore.

This approach reminds me of the millions spent on designing a pen that would work in space by NASA. What did the Russians do? Use a pencil.

What did Apple do? Make standby mode actually work.

Never have a job, because if you have a job someday someone will take it away from you and then you will be unprepared for your old age. For me, it has always been the same every since the age of 12. I wake up in the morning and I try to figure out how am I going to put bread on the table today? It is the same at 75, I wake up every morning and I think how am I going to put bread on the table today? I am exceedingly well prepared for my old age.

Zynga, the online gaming publisher, is making a ton of money. Just how much? Well, earlier reports put revenue at something , but some new numbers obtained by Sarah Lacy suggests that it’s closer to $100 million. And clearly, it’s accelerating. We’re hearing that the run rate for 2009 may even be well above that.

This just shows how attention is and continues to be the scarcest commodity in an information glut world.

Maybe eyeballs mean something after all... but only if you hook it up to a way to monetize, whether its Acai Berry / daily SMS horoscope ads, OfferPal, or direct micropayments. Within the context of almost any content, that's unacceptable, but within the concept of a social game like mobwars -- all is fair game.

Yes people are making money doing low-bar / low-brow casual social network games. Why? There's no skill involved! And that's a good thing. When it's pure hedonic ramp, it's like shock of pure China White for in the arm of bored people everywhere.

If we weren't 110% consumed with building Posterous, I just might be tempted to build some of this stuff myself. ;-)

Dude, they got an official flickr stream! Unbelievable!

This demo is absolutely incredible. Reminds me of Engelbart's original and seminal talk about the new input device he created -- the mouse.

Also, imagine hooking this up with some 3D holographic display device. 3D input + 3D output = major hotness.

Someone needs to take this technology and make an air guitar game, STAT.
