Blogging, Sleep, and Robots... Choose two.

#3 - New Blogger Templates

So I was up kinda late last night completely replacing the template on my blog. If I did a good job, most of you didn't notice that much had changed. :P

A little while back, when Blogger pulled out of Beta, they made this option available, but I never got around to upgrading my template. Recently, though, I started noticing how difficult it was to navigate to previous posts, and given my prolificity throughout NaBloPoMo and my recent fits of prose, it was beginning to become quite a problem.

Please notice the cool new sidebar, which is far, far more navigable than the old interface. You can click on the little arrows and whatnot. Very cool.

The next step, I guess, is to start using tags. It'll probably take me another two months to get around to that as well, so don't hold your breaths. ;)

#2 - Midday napping can save your life!

Scientific studies provide incontrovertible proof that napping can prevent heart disease. Ok, so it was just one study, but 23,000 subjects ain't too shabby!

Anyway, I'd better print out a copy of this and post it by my desk for my boss to see.

According to this article the three pillars of health are diet (ouch!), exercise (ouch!), and sleep (haaa, right...). So it appears that there are almost boundless opportunities for me to make my life even better than it is now!

#1 - Robovies at attention

Haha, I'm such an eight-year-old...

At one point recently we had to line up a bunch of the robots in one room for an inspection. It really reminded me of the ranks of stormtroopers lined up while the Emperor came to inspect the Death Star. So, here you go, yet another way I spend my free time other than sleeping.

(By the way, the writing wasn't photoshopped... the front robot really is an R-2 unit!)

(also note that almost all the photos I post are available on Flickr at much higher resolution... click on the photo and then click "All Sizes" for options)
