At this point you have probably entered the boredom-induced coma, then passed out from boredom in the dream you were having inside the coma,\u00a0Inception<\/em>-style. It’s OK, this often happens to me in the morning while skimming\u00a0Techmeme<\/a>\u00a0for all the hot aggregated news about indistinguishable companies with names that are slightly-misspelled verbs buying each other for millions of dollars. What I do is place an air-horn on my keyboard: the pressure from my forehead slamming down onto it sounds the horn and wakes me up. Actually, that would be a pretty good iPad app.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
