It’s 3:15 a.m. I said I’d be in bed by midnight. Then 1. Then 2. Now I’m finishing the firmware download page for Beacon 4.0, and I’ve committed to getting this live before 3:45. Which means I have 30 minutes to write this before I push it. Also — quick side note — I recently bought one of those serious thermoses to bring coffee with me when I work away from the office.
