Sleep, blog news and curiosities

Sleep:
Last night I had the first 6 hour continuous stretch of sleep I have had in so long I can't even remember the last time it happened. Yay me.

Blog news:
David Sifry's State of the Blogosphere (parts one and two) are now out for February. In general, blog growth is continuing at a quickening pace, but bloggers are still linking to mainstream media sources. Also of interest in blogging news is the story based on Technorati data and appearing in the New York Metro magazine, about how the most linked-to blogs relate. We bloggers really are a very clique-y society.

Curiosities:
- Gizmodo has announced the winner of its challenge to make music from the sound of Hitachi Hard Drives failing. And the winner is the Noriko version, which manages to sound like a soundtrack to a documentary about technology taking over the world.
- For an entertaining read about what went wrong with some of the biggest (or at least most hyped) science fiction films of our time, cast your eyes down the list of the Top 10 Best Sci-Fi Films That Never Existed.
- Apparently aliens are invading. Again.
- And for all those who want to tempt fate and follow the path of the Titanic and the Hindenberg, or perhaps just think that Deep Vein Thrombosis is one of the things they're looking for from a hotel, you can always look forward to the flying luxury hotel.
