I wonder if there are drugs/devices where you can get a full night's sleep while also squeezing in an Apple keynote somewhere in there.

You wake up in the morning, run through the five-minute implant procedure and Boom! You've implanted a memory of staying up following the live blogs and refreshing the Apple.com page five million times.

Yeah, but if your post doesn't show as being right on the hour it doesn't count. According to these rules I just made up.

Then, we were all bitterly disappointed because we had taken "Way beyond the rumor sites" to mean that Apple was launching a fleet of their own satellites and offering us free broadband for life, among other things.

Wait... you didn't get your free satellite broadband for life kit? (Note to self, Adda is not one of the cool kids.)

3 am!?! Thank goodness I'm in California that way I only have to worry about snowstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes or the state deficit killing me while watching the keynote at a reasonable time.

I'm hoping this is like when the iBook was introduced. I remember watching that real time and he is doing something network related and picks it up and walks across the stage and there is this collective pause as we realize there is no network cable. Then everyone flips out.

I wanna flip out this morning.

There are a variety of sites that do live-blogging from the event and include photos. There is nothing completely live. Somebody will probably post a few links at about game time.
