Blue Screen vs. Lethe
If this is true—and I think it is up in the air whether this is pure quackery or sound science—it would explain a lot here. There are many people who complain of the same problem, being tired and not being able to fall asleep. Virtually everybody uses a computer a night to read, watch movies or TV, etc. It’s sort of a chronic thing. I had always attributed to general stress and vague apprehension.

Triangle Man, Triangle Man
In case you were wondering, here is the answer to the pop quiz.
I made this presentation completely on the iPad—more as a proof of concept or trial run than by way of doing serious work. I learned several of the kinks and quirks of Keynote on the iPad this way. Of course I went over the top with animations just to see what it could really do, making it highly questionable from an aesthetic perspective. The mixture of typefaces is also rather… eclectic.
It’s just for fun.
Update: Yeah, I made an error in the presentation. Well, at least one. I found it myself though so it’s cool. Fixed now.
