A day in the life of a rogue former WakeMate co-founder

0453 - Wake up to the smell of smoke and a burning sensation on my wrist ("oh shit, my WakeMate is on fire again...")

0500 - Stumble downstairs, rubbing my eyes. Feed Mr. Bigglesworth his cat food and make myself a 1/2 gallon of black coffee and a bowl of Wheaties.

0545 - Hammer out some unsolicited emails and take a look at my schedule for the day, then blast some Bon Jovi while brainstorming the name of my new product ("it's my liiiife...").

0700 - Ride my Vespa to work with Mr. Bigglesworth in a front pouch carrier.

0915 - It's launch day. Get everything all set to post it on Kickstarter, realize it violates their TOS, and post it on Indiegogo instead. Immediately post a link on HN, generously extending the YC-backed claims to my new venture.

1007 - More coffee.

1223 - Borrow the use of my former employer's twitter account to promote my product launch, and temporarily change the name to my own for clarity.

1336 - Reply to some comments on HN and Indiegogo, and browse LOLCats.

1551 - Call it a day, zip back home. Roll my own sushi for dinner (registers as good exercise on MiLife+!), and snuggle up with Mr. Bigglesworth for the season finale of The Bachelor.

Disclaimer: This is sarcasm. I have no affiliation with Wakemate and have never met any of the people involved. The last 24 hours sound like they have been rough for the Wakemate team -- just trying to lighten the mood. See the following for context:
