You may have read in my previous photoblog post or the one before that I have been suffering from sleep deprivation. A few of the nights it was rain on my fiberglass skylight. Sunday morning it was fireworks at 5:15am. There should be a video below of 1 minute of it.

To the person responsible for this outrage: go fuck yourself.

Javantea out.

People have been asking what I've been up to. I've been reading, drumming, walking, and taking photos mostly. I've done a tiny bit of shopping, a bunch of eating, and a bit of sewing. I've also been sleeping irregularly, but that's a different blog post.

This one is going to be a photo blog. It's going to describe a few things using photos and descriptions that are in the Gallery. The photos are in reverse chronological order, so if you want a chronological playback, start at the bottom and work upwards. I'm not sure why though.

I went to the Peña de Bernal yesterday. It is one of the world's largest monoliths.

I'm having trouble sleeping in Mexico. It could be jet lag but I'm at the point where I should have gotten over it. I didn't have a siesta today and I only got 4 hours of sleep. Rain woke me for the second night in a row. I like rain, rain makes food grow. My roof however was designed to let light in during the day and instead of making it out of glass or thick plastic, it's made out of fiberglass. When rain hits it, it sounds like I'm playing the drums. But the rain isn't the only issue.

I'm working on a few projects that mean a lot to me and I don't get to spend enough time on them. Some of this is explained by life but some of it needs to get fixed. And it will.

If only lack of sleep was good for productivity.

I wanted to post this to my Mexico blog here since I just told people that I'd be blogging there instead of here for the next two weeks, but I decided that a travel blog shouldn't have such an important announcement.

AI3 now has an alpha natural language interface. It doesn't yet query the database like it should, but it will. For now you'll have to be satisfied with thousands of possible conversations. What is a brilliant technology without a tutorial? Here we go.
