But still, it&#8217;s fun to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the app I had been using to track my sleep before this weekend was made by my friend Tom&#8217;s major competitor. The one that he suspects is sabotaging his rating and rankings in the App store. Whoops.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really feel that guilty. After all, I wouldn&#8217;t have the app if he hadn&#8217;t have told me to download it in the first place. Hell, I wouldn&#8217;t even know such an app exists. Anyway, I&#8217;m loyal enough to stop using the old app, and I asked Tom which app to try instead. He suggested this one: <a title=\"Sleep Cycle on the App Store\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/sleep-cycle-alarm-clock\/id320606217?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Sleep Cycle<\/a>. Now, is this app any better than the other one, which I wont name? Probably not. Does either app truly do anything? Possibly not.<\/p>\n<p>But what the hell, I need to wake up.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s my chart for last night.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_170\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-170\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120221-050302.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-170\" title=\"Sleep Report 2\/20-21\/2012\" src=\"http:\/\/edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120221-050302.jpg\" alt=\"Sleep Report 2\/20-21\/2012\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120221-050302.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120221-050302-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hmm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I suspect I&#8217;ll only be using this app as long as it takes Tom to make his own sleep app, which is next on his plate.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Tom and his apps, <a title=\"Fitness Buddy on the App Store\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/fitness-buddy-hd-1000-exercises\/id452557371?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Fitness Buddy<\/a> was <a title=\"Fitness Buddy on Gizmodo\" href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5886704\/fitness-buddy-stop-being-fat-and-get-in-shape-with-your-smartphone\" target=\"_blank\">featured on Gizmodo this weekend<\/a>. Since I was responsible for most of the photography and video in that app, I feel like it&#8217;s worth plugging here. I do find it ironic that I worked so hard making content for a fitness app&#8211;the Gizmodo headline is &#8216;Stop Being Fat and Get In Shape with Your Smartphone&#8217;&#8211;and yet I&#8217;m very much out of shape, and not even interested in using that app. Maybe I should change that&#8230;BUT NOT TODAY.<\/p>\n<p>So, the <em>Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance<\/em> review <a title=\"You\u2019ll get caught up in the, Ghost Rider.\" href=\"http:\/\/edsoftfilms.com\/?p=159\">posted yesterday<\/a>. I also saw <em>The Secret World Of Arrietty<\/em> (not to be confused with <a title=\"Karigurashi no Arrietty\" href=\"http:\/\/www.karigurashi.jp\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Borrower Arrietty<\/em><\/a>, or <a title=\"Arrietty\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arriettymovie.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Arrietty<\/em><\/a>, or <em><a title=\"The Borrowers\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Borrowers\">The Borrowers<\/a><\/em>) last Friday. I specify the version I saw was the Disney produced American localization, as opposed to the original Japanese or the UK\/Australian version. I think it would be interesting to see all three, and maybe someday I will. But for now, I&#8217;ve only seen one. Sometime this week, I hope to review it. In short, though, it is a wonderful example of artistry. Even with the American voices, it&#8217;s worth seeing on as large a screen as you can. If you have the opportunity, go check it out.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that is imminent is a new Radio EdSoft Film. Or two. We&#8217;ll see. Just gotta finish recording\/mixing in the back announces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I expected, the accelerometer inside the iPhone is probably not sensitive enough to accurately track anyone&#8217;s sleep patterns.
