F.lux For The Win

I'm making a small change in 2012.  Rather than exercising in the mornings, I'm going to exercise in the afternoons after school.  The reason for the change?  I want to spend some time writing (not necessarily on the blog) each day, and my house is at its quietest around 6:00 a.m. each morning.

Of course, when I look at my computer at 6:00 a.m., my eyes have difficulty adjusting to the harsh light of the monitor.  They're sleepy and barely aroused, and my computer shoots out light like the noonday sun.

So when I heard about F.lux, I was interested.  F.lux is a program that automatically runs on your computer and adjusts the light of your monitor depending on the time of day.  Right now it's dark outside, and my monitor's hue resembles that of a sunrise.  By midday it will change to normal.  And tonight it will gradually ease again.

I'm digging it.  You might, too.
