http://www.randallcbennett.com The random musings of one Randall Bennett. Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:48:06 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Wow. It's been a nuts week. If you missed it, we were at CES where we did about 50 videos, two hours of video content, had about a month's worth of video views and all-in-all had a nuts time. I'm so happy for how everything has gone, and am thankful for ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2010/01/10/feeling-thankful/ Arrington has this to say: So what really scares me? It’s the rise of fast food content that will surely, over time, destroy the mom and pop operations that hand craft their content today. The crux of the issue? Essentially content that's even less thought out and less produced than TechCrunch will ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/12/13/fast-food-content-is-the-edge-of-the-pendulums-momentum/ So thanks to thanksgiving, some job-related travel, and other annoyingness... I've stopped polyphasic sleeping. Its hard to keep up when traveling, and dealing with other regular sleepers. I haven't yet decided when I'm going to restart it, but it's going to be soon. And when I do, I'll be blogging ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/12/09/polyphasic-sleep-end-of-the-first-experiment/ Funny night last night. Went to bed around 10:30 or 11, expected to wake up at 2. Actually woke up at 5, with iPod touch (alarm clock) in bed beneath me. I'm assuming the 'oversleep' was due to a lack of quality napping the day before. Seems like my naps have been ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/25/polyphasic-sleep-day-46/ From the beginning, one of my biggest hurdles with polyphasic sleep is the Saturday Morning conundrum. Basically when I wake up, there's nothing good on TV, I don't feel like working, and realistically there's not much for me to do by myself. 2-7am is my "by myself" time. Typically its spent ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/24/polyphasic-sleep-day-45-the-saturday-conundrum/ Wow, 44 days. That's gotta be some sort of milestone. Woke up on time today, at 2am. Got about 3 hours of "real" sleep, since I was lying down at about 9:30 but consciously remember looking at the clock at 11. (Probably some light sleep from 9:30-11.) One thing I've noticed is ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/23/polyphasic-sleep-day-44/ It's odd, but I once again slept for a full 8 hours. Seems like I'm almost on a 48 hour schedule where I take naps regularly, and then alternate between shorties and long sleeps. I'm sort of getting the rest in while I can, because I've just picked up another person ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/22/polyphasic-sleep-day-43/ My site had been down over the weekend, and i guess it took my will to polyphasically sleep with it. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and today, I've slept regular hours. That means only 1 in 5 days have I slept polyphasically. Hoping to return to the schedule starting tomorrow. Hoping I ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/20/polyphasic-sleep-day-something/ So it's funny... when I decide to "sleep in" now, it's quite a different and more hillarious thought process. My wife and her entire family are out of town, meaning I'll have alone time ALL DAY. When I had alone time yesterday, it was something that felt odd. Typically, I only have ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/16/polyphasic-sleep-day-37/ So missed a couple days updating. Here's what happened. Tuesday: Woke up at 3am, ended up sleeping till about 6. Wasn't very fun. I missed a nap the night previous, so it through me off all together. Wednesday: Woke up at 3am, but felt really refreshed. Did a two napper day. (More ... http://www.randallcbennett.com/2009/10/14/polyphasic-sleep-day-36/
