Poor old you, I know what you mean. Sometimes I think humans , well at least me, should be in bed when it's dark! I reckon there are degrees of SAD. I think I read something about blue light being a good treatment. (Maybe in your case, flashing blue lights). Still it's getting lighter thank goodness and you've got the legend to share things with. Have fun at Barcamp- it sounds like a great way for like minds to interact. Thanks for the blogs and the links, you open up ideas and lead the way to fun things (like Twitter) so pat on the back Reynolds!
