The Science of Sleeplessness...
I know I already posted something today but I'm feeling creative right now and I want to nurture those feelings. I decided that I didn't feel like sleeping tonight. I'm going to stay up as long as possible or until sunrise and see if I can keep myself from getting bored. I will post every hour or so to write about what I have been up to for the past hour if I don't fall asleep or forget. So if I stop posting I either fell asleep or forgot. Consider this my 1 AM post.

I have been watching movie trailers at http://www.apple.com/trailers/ for the past hour and a half. I saw a couple of good ones and a lot of crappy ones. Best one so far has been for The Science Of Sleep. This one is directed by Michel Gondry, the guy who directed Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, so its pretty wierd and pretty good looking.

One of my earlier posts dealt with net neutrality. I understand that not everyone knows what it's all about but I found a pretty even-handed article about it on HowStuffWorks. It's got both sides on it and it breaks it down like this. Those against Net Neutrality don't want the government regulating the internet. Those for net neutrality believe that some government regulation is needed to keep the internet from being something that is controlled by the telecommunication corporations.

I am usually someone that doesn't trust the government but I trust corporations, an entity who by definition is seeking profits no matter who it hurts, even less. If you look at Kingsville you will se a clear example of why regulation is needed at this time. Right now there are two broadband providers in Kingsville. They are AT&T/SBC and CMA. Now you would say that if lets say AT&T started getting all crazy with their prices and what users could see online that we could just switch to CMA. But CMA is a small broadband provider and already has limitations on how much bandwidth you could use. So in kingsville there is very little choice and its the same all over the country.
