Right now I am reading "What Is Typography?". Right beside it is "Envisioning Information". Those are design books.

The thing is, the subject of this book is not my field. I just like reading design books and other stuff that are not related to my field. At the same time I have to read books (documents, to be exact) that are specific to my field (IT and security). So, these "unrelated" books are actually distractions.

What do you think? Do you read stuff that's not related to your (professional) field?

Yesterday was a long day for me. It was started early with lack of sleep. (Actually I had about 3 or 4 hours of sleep.)

The morning was started with a workshop session, in which I was one of the presenters. (We had 2 presenters at one time, tossing issues, ideas between the presenters. It was like stand up comedy. ha ha ha.) Of course I had coffee. Afternoon we had another session. (and more coffee)

By the end of the day, I felt fine. I didn't realize that my eyes were red (need to sleep?). I was feeling great. Then, I realized that I drank too much coffee; 4 or 5 cups. Ha ha ha. At most, usually, I drink 2 cups.

Back home, the coffee effect was apparently still working. I felt great.

Now, I am worried because I had less sleep last night but I am feeling great! I am expecting that I am sleepy, but no... I am feeling great. hmm... I worry that I am sleepy today during my presentation.

Looking at the mirror, red eyes! I guess, today's menu is ... coffee.

it's 00:00.

... should I burn the midnight oil?
... or hit the carpet, for that matter?

tick, tick, tick ... silent

... nothing is moving inside my head
... ... (the gerbil is sleeping?)
... no movement (of moving parts)
... ... (is there such a thing?)
... no electron movement (of electrical parts)
... ... (am i a robot?)

it's way pass 00:00 ...
... can i go back to 00:00?
... and start everything over?
