The Life of an Information Junkie

I am a certified information junkie. (Is there a twelve step program for this?) When I fire up my browser on any given morning, I am immediately greeted with a streaming, aggregated RSS feed that gives me my first “rush” of data; and my first nest of tabs.Like all junkies, that first hit is never enough. After reading a couple articles, I then open my Gmail and start to respond to the entries that accumulated in the fifteen minutes I slept. (Damn, no Wave invite yet.) The juice is flowing through my veins, but like a crackhead, the thrill is quickly gone. It’s time to go to my connect.

Google Reader is the Tony Montana of data. You want some data..maybe a little more….maybe just a tad more. There is no limit.

I am now on a serious “run”. Twelve hours, 300 windows, 1200 tabs, 55 videos, 35 software downloads, 36 uninstalls, and 120 pdf downloads later; I sleep my necessary 15 minutes and do it all over again. Betty Ford-here I come.
