Yep I start the morning reading the news. That’s enough time on it’s own. But then sometimes I’ll head over to my blog feeds and that’s more time. Then I’ll maybe submit my own comment to a blog and there’s more time. Finally I may digest what I’ve read and make a comment on my own blog.

I’m not sure how I get anything done now that I think about it…

The thing is, I guess it’s important to keep up. But the more I read the better I am at ignoring rubbish, and bookmarking/subscribing to the important stuff.

I’m unemployed now and trying to make it with my web application. That’s enough to scare you in to self discipline ;)

Working disconnected is amazing, yes. Great advice for people who have to get things done. But at the same time I always feel like I’ve lost an arm or two.. :)

I actually wrote about why you have to read blogs just this morning: http://blog.bjorkoy.com/2006/05/16/the-greatest-argument-for-reading-blogs/

Like to surf the web? Of course you do.

There’s a poison for every passion – technology, web-trends, movies, He-Man.

Blogs, vlogs, aggregates, forums, rss, podcasts, emails, flickr, bit torrents, streaming video, im…. cutting edge headlines slam every second. Imagine Digg as a newspaper – the paperboy would be throwing screamers at your doorstep every hour.
