“Because insomnia is triggered, at least in part, by anxiety about insomnia, the worst thing we can do is think about not being able to sleep; the diagnosis exacerbates the disease. And that’s why this frustrating condition will never have a perfect medical cure. Insomnia is ultimately a side-effect of our consciousness, the price we pay for being so incessantly self-aware. It is, perhaps, the quintessential human frailty, a reminder that the Promethean talent of the human mind — this strange ability to think about itself — is both a blessing and a burden.”

Dear Ad Agencies:
If you are going to RFP video sites, please do not send us write-protected Excel worksheets for DISPLAY sites. As a general rule, 728 x 90’s don’t fit so good in most players.
Also, please don’t say any “RFP’s submitted without a fully completed Excel worksheet will immediately be disqualified for consideration” if you have not given us a worksheet we can use.
I feel like I’m in a Kafka story written just for people who work at video sites.
Meh.
