From the Los Angeles Times, this story describes something I’ve sort-of known for years – sunlight, or lack of light, can mess with your circadian rhythms.

Another attempt at organizing myself online.

So here I am at it again.

There are so many online services and communities to choose from and what I’d like is one organized suite of apps that work together. So I’ve got Facebook up and running nicely and to that I’m going to add LinkedIn for professional contacts and Twitter because some people like that sort of thing. I also have Shelfari for my reading list and Steepster because tea is just that important — check out my blogroll when you have a moment and I hope this is all organized enough and stays that way… we’ll know in about a month, I think.
