    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It is four in the morning and I just changed my computer's timezone  to Pago Pago&amp;mdash;America Samoa. This is UTC -11 hours. It is the  absolute earliest measured time in the world, always. I do this when it  is late at night and I haven't written my entry for the day on 750words.  It is cheating, or at the very least, it is the hubris of time travel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But this is how the writing gets done. The streak is maintained (445  days as of right now) and I am motivated to continue. I would rather  cheat and continue writing than play honest and fair and become  disinterested after failure. Isn't that interesting?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://brennanbrown.dreamwidth.org/452.html#cutid1"&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brennanbrown&amp;ditemid=452" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
