TV and games b0rk your circadians.

"More sleepdep notes fo rmembers of the Eastern Standard Tribe -- computers and TVs b0rk your circadians. I was up at 4:30 this morning and I'm crossing two timezones this aft.

Dr. John Herman, a sleep expert at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas states that the flashing lights of kids' television shows, video games and computer programs seem to be resetting the body's internal clock, stimulating kids' brains and making them want to stay up later and get up later."

PS Print

"Your own super hi-res printer I needed a printer that could, without raising an eyebrow, accept my digitally produced artwork, print it, and mail it to my house.

psp_logo_sky2.jpgA recent find, PS Print, has brought my original dream true. Much of their success is due to the widespread adoption of the PDF standard, which removes lot of variables. I sailed through this experience with joy. PS Print has an idiot-proof website, with crystal clear and simple steps to upload files. It takes half a minute. They print your files and mail the material back to you.

At great prices.

For instance, I designed my own personal business card in Photoshop (it could have been any program), uploaded the file, ordered the minimum 250 cards for $26, and got the box of four-color cards by mail later that week. No muss, no fuss. For common color printing tasks like flyers, postcards, brochures and biz cards, this is like having a multi-million dollar printer at the other end of your USB cable. (They even do the less common, like full-color event tickets with numbering, which is pretty cool.)"
