I should be sleeping.

That’s all. Nothing else.

OK, maybe something else. Why am I awake? I’ll tell you why. I have an information addiction. I can’t seem to soak in enough of it. For some reason, I feel a constant urge to update my RSS reader to see if there is anything new that I should know about.

Has the information age turned us into internet zombies? I can’t tell you the last time I went a day without looking at a computer. I have three of them in my house online 24/7 and then I usually boot my laptop up when I get home from work. So my little router is chuggin’ along carrying four pc’s most of the time.

Note: As I sit here typing along, I see several of my colleagues jumping online.

So, what’s in my RSS reader? It’s unreal. Entertainment, tech stuff, brain food, a few inspirational blogs, etc..

Just to name a few:
uneasysilene
43 Folders
Best Week Ever
Dallas Cowboys
Damn Interesting
Daytipper
digg
Download Squad
Frugal Cuisine
Frugal For Life
Get Rich Slowly
Getting Finances Done
Leftlane
Lifehacker
Parent Hacks
Slashdot
The mental_floss Blogs
Top7Business
US-CERT Technical Cyber Security Alerts
What Would Tyler Durden Do

All of this information, and what good is it really? Well, the jury is out on that one. I can’t say that it’s good or bad. I think it helps me have a deeper understanding of what is happening in the world, but on the other hand, it helps me have a deeper understanding of what is happening in the world.

Ignorance is truly blissful…

In peace and health,

John
