Dying is easy

We all do it.   Why do we see the sacrifice that Jesus made as such a difficult choice?  Why raise up as heroes those that die to save others?  We are all going to die, it's just a question of when and how.  Wouldn't you give your life to save your children?   I know I would, without hesitation.  And I would for any child I could save.   With adults the decision becomes more difficult, at least for me: would you give up your life for a stranger?   Someone you don't even like?   It is still an easy choice when you talk about groups of people, again, at least for me.

Wouldn't 90+%(?) of people sacrifice themselves to save all of mankind?   I think a much harder moral question is one raised in the movie Swordfish; who would or could you kill in order to save another person/group of people?  Would you kill 1 to save 1000?  Kill one to save 100? 10?  You can make this arbitrarily difficult,  but the ultimate question is the same: if you kill some to save many is that more moral than allowing the many to die, but not by your hand, and what if you can't guarantee that if you didn't kill the one, then the X would die?

We're researching Azure private cloud at work and I've been doing the work getting it running.  It's been pretty smooth so far and will be very cool once it's running.

Had some spicy chipotle ramen noodles, my first for two weeks.  Going to miss the spicy noodles, will have to find something else to put chipotle on, I'm starting slow carb diet.

Got all the T-Posts I need to finish fencing in the back yard, should be able to get them all in by the end of this week.  Once that's done I'll see how time consuming putting the fencing up is.   Also got pieces for a new downspout for gutters, may need to get some tin snips though.

Daily positive experience

Had a successful sleepover for the three youngest girls last night.  Had 2 activities for them, the got to make their own pizza for dinner and in the morning they decorated gingerbread trains.  Had 10 girls in total.

Plan revised

Ok, so I had issues with my timer alarms not going off Sunday night, and Monday just didn't work.  Here's what I have from Tuesday night til now.  I'll be ok with making it on schedule until Thursday night, but I'd really like to make it to Friday night.  Also, caffeine is really bad for the naps.  I think it's ok right after waking up, but I don't want to do anything after that.

Progress

So, I think I've got 2 days on the schedule going, next step is to shoot for 3.  Going to try to keep on it until 10pm Tuesday night.  I think increasing one day at a time is the way to do this gradually, we'll see.

Tired now, tonight will be difficult

2013-02-02.0600

was feeling a bit more tired, so went for 40 minutes, and actually got up :)  REM on this one looking good for uberman, 16 minutes all at the beginning.  too bad it took 10 minutes to fall asleep.

What happens when the zeo gets damp, it thought it was on my head for 4 hours:

This one I really didn't fall asleep.

2013-02-01.1000

Not sure why it didn't register any sleep, I definitely fell asleep.

Another Fail

10pm again.  The zeo doesn't show all my sleep for 10pm, I pulled it off around midnight.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up

Haven't really made any progress, still having the same issues with 10pm and 2am naps.  Don't want to get up.  I can at least remember waking up though. Here is some zeo data I've been capturing.

A normal nights sleep (7 hours)

Progress

Ok, so Tuesday I did OK, slept from 2-6am, 20 minute naps otherwise.  Wednesday I finally managed to go a whole 24 hours with just the 20 minute naps, and its almost 6pm Thursday and I'm still on schedule.  I'm a bit tired, but not overwhelmingly so.  No Zeo data, I just took it back and got another today, hopefully I will get some data for 10pm (it's charging now, so no 6pm one).  Don't know if I'm going to make it the whole night tonight as tired as I am, but I'm going to give it a go.

No I did not die

I just felt like I did when I got the flu.  Did not think it was wise to try to get through the adaptation period while fighting the flu.  I'm ready to try again, but it appears my Zeo has perished.  I'm ordering new headbands hoping that is the problem, otherwise I'll be sending it back.

Well, this says I didn't sleep, but I say otherwise, what up zeo?
