From the NYT special on sleep today, a bunch of articles:
- Should kids sleep with their parents? My kid says yes, but I say no.
- The effects of sleep deprivation, which I know all too well, which is why I go to bed at 8:30pm every night. (Yes, I am old and boring and I am aware of that.)
- Do the elderly sleep worse? I say maybe not, but they sure sleep less. Getting up at 4am everyday... Insanity!
- Something about birds.
- Something about how sleep helps your memory.
- About how sleeping pills are huge rip-offs.
- About nightmares, what dreams mean, why we dream, etc.

Startup to kill junk mail.
An article about StumbleUpon, which apparently is a better version of Digg or one of those types of sites. And by article I mean half-assed weak attempt at a blog post.
Netflix profits are up... Which is odd because, while I still am a subscriber, I am strongly thinking of switching to Blockbuster. I love Netflix and I will feel like a traitor if/when I do switch; and I hate Blockbuster for being the Starbucks of movie rentals. But with Netflix if I want to watch a movie I have to put it on a list, wait weeks for it to come, and by the time it comes I don't want to watch it anymore, so it sits there for months delaying the next movie I really do want to see.
With Blockbuster I can exchange the movie in the store, and get the next one on my list. I'm doing a two week trial of Blockbuster and I've watched more movies than I have watched from Netflix in the last 3 or 4 months, maybe even longer.
