Long Night (Staying Woke) - on dealing with uncomfortable truths and injustice in the world. I read this a few weeks ago and it impressed me enough that I finally got back around to digging through my browser history to find the link again in order to post it.

Saturday, February 7th, 2015 07:20 pmI keep being startled by unexpected beeps/chirps/whistles/whatnot in the house. We've got so many gadgets and devices that make noises nowadays, that it's hard to keep track of them all. Especially when it's a noise I haven't heard before, or when I didn't even realize the gadget made any noises.
Sometimes it's been a cordless phone, beeping that is is starting to charge (odd, as it was plugged in the whole time).
One time, the wireless doorbell chose to play a different tune than usual, when my mom came over. I was wandering around the house wondering "what the heck was that?" when she knocked on the door.
One late night at my computer, I heard a nearby whistled tune, as if someone was in our yard whistling nonchalantly. Creepy. Later I found out it was a notification sound on Qiao's new phone.

I upgraded my Notepad++ to the latest version today. I won't give it away, but it does something special after the install. You might want to check it out, if you use the program (unless of course, you already upgraded it a month ago when this version came out).
