It’s 3am – why do I love this?

It’s Sunday night and I’m just waiting for the last few files to upload to my website for  the little side project I’ve been busy with.

Correction. It’s  actually Monday morning, and I really should get to bed and start the week on a good note. But I can’t. I’m enjoying myself too much…

I wish I could explain the energy I get from a night like tonight in front of my computer. I don’t care about the lack of sleep – or how the day will be tomorrow. I’m just enjoying the silence of the middle of the night while I problem solve and code and think and read.

Anyway, the upload’s done. Here’s what it is: One Thousand Songs. No great shakes, just a first attempt at some data mashup and visualisation, for the hell of it. It was an interesting process, and I hit many snags and contradictions, and I think I will do some more to improve it as I go.

Meanwhile, sleep.
