Nice to know someone else is waking up really early. I started setting my alarm 5 minutes back each day toward my goal of waking up at 4am. I started at 7am now I am at 4:40am and I'm really liking it so far; I get stuff done this way.
The scroll performance was bothering me so much i had to add transform: translateZ(0); to the #background-canvas element of the page to stop the screen painting on every fking scroll; to continue to read in peace without my eyes bleeding. Great article though :)
