First and foremost, Matt Stone gets a well-deserved spanking from Richard Nikoley for being not merely a turd, but a fat turd.

F.lux is a nifty little program for Mac or PC that “makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.” I rather like it: the computer screen seems easier on my eyes at night.

It blocks out all the small lights from various gadgets in our bedroom at night, and it allows me to sleep beyond daylight, if needed.
Dr. Kurt Harris has another post showing pretty remarkable damage to the heart in long-distance runners: Still Not Born to Run. It’s a follow-up to Cardio Causes Heart Disease. I wonder: (1) Is the damage done just by long-distance running alone? Or does the high-carb junk diet that most such runners eat also a factor, perhaps a major factor? And (2) What’s the dose-response curve here? Is some running beneficial — or is it all bad? I don’t think we’ve got answers to those questions … yet.
