So at the beginning of last week I thought I was off to a good start. I was hearing my alarm at 6, and although I went back to sleep, I knew I had the potential for only sleeping 3 hours on a consistent basis.
But that lasted for a whole 2 days before things [...]

Thus far this has experiment has a bust. And the fault is all my own. The big thing about polyphasic sleep is the nap schedule has to be followed pretty strictly. Nap skips are never a good idea; which probably happened every day for me so far.
So the first day I got [...]

So I have officially decided that I am going on the Everyman sleep schedule. So if you asked tomorrow what my schedule is, I will tell you what time my naps are.
In short, the Everyman sleep schedule is a form of polyphasic sleep. Polyphasic sleep is just what it sounds like, sleep in [...]

Since being in Austin, I’ve been working at a construction site pulling cable. And by pulling cable I mean running all the network cables that will be used in the offices and such through the ceilings and walls, etc. It’s not terribly complex, but it’s definitely work. Especially compared to what I [...]

So now that school is sort of over, I’m going to try and blog some more.
Right now I’m up at a class in MI taking Ornithology (I’ll explain it later), but I was taking a nap during our afternoon break.
I dreamt we were out walking and looking for birds, and I dreamt I took a [...]

So I just had one of the weirdest dreams I’ve dreamt in a while.
On Tuesdays I usually have nuclear lab from 8-10. But today the lab got moved back to 9. Last night I went to bed about 30 min later than I had hoped, but still set my alarm for my usual [...]

The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an [...]

All I can say is, WOW. I’ve had enough drama today to more than fill up this spring break for me.
Starting off the day, I woke up on one of the couches in the conference room. Apparently last night I had just passed out from being so tired and just slept there. [...]

I just realized that while the title of this is Day 2, it’s not really our 2nd day here. It’s like our 4th. But it’s our 2nd day on the beach, and I guess that’s how I’m keeping track of things.
My days haven’t seem to gotten drastically better. But that’s just from [...]

Let’s see if I can fit this in before the team rolls out this morning. Last night, the power went out for about 10 seconds, and the internet was down until this morning. I probably could have typed up an entry, then posted it this morning, but I ended up falling asleep on [...]

Our home for the week, the El Caribe:

Apparently Ben Waterman starred in Psycho:

My dinner at Woody’s Bar-B-Q, the sloppy woody. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that great.

So after lunch most of the team headed outside to enjoy what we thought would be beautiful weather. Instead we were greeted by cloudy skies, high speed winds, and mediocre temperatures. And it just started to rain. What a way to enjoy Spring Break in Florida.

This is just going to be a random collections of different thoughts on my mind as well as a few stories. Enjoy the miscellany.
- My van probably had the fewest people in it out of the 3. It seated 12, and we had maybe 6-8 the entire trip. Starting off, we had [...]

Hey all. Here’s the first Daytona post for the 09 trip.
We rolled out from the DC around 6ish. We had to make a temporary pit stop to fill up the tires on one of the vans at Handy Andy. It may have taken 3 guys to figure out how to do it, [...]

So on Saturday I made my way back to Taylor. My flight left at 12, and got to Indy at 4:30ish. There was a layover in Memphis, but it wasn’t long. Overall, a pretty uneventful flight. I just listened to my iPod and napped. The landings were a little rough, [...]
