A fairly busy and moderately productive day at work; no walk because I went up to the Menlo Park office for a talk and a meeting.

I've taken to setting up my SAD light just below the monitor and using its 15min timer to set the dosage. No idea whether it's helping my mood all that much, but I'll take any help I can get at this point. Somewhat surprisingly, it doesn't seem to affect my ability to read the monitor, so maybe that's why the effect isn't very noticable.

Whole lot of links down in the notes. BoingBoing had a very effective original mac theme going. Aside from the inevitable Steve Jobs obits, there are a couple of cancer links, including a particularly silly mobile app featuring sexy guys reminding you to do a breast self-exam, and a photographer who makes cancer patients feel beautiful. And look beautiful, but unfortunately those portraits don't seem to be on her website. Also look for filkertom's video links.
