Nothing new to see
Jun 26, 2008 Internet, Uncategorized
Here’s the scenario: You’re at work between “things”. Whether it’s a lag between meetings, or it’s Friday and nothing is really going on anyways. You fire up your web browser, visit your usual sites (cnn.com, digg.com, adamriggins.com, whatever). At some point, you have seen all you are really interested in at the time. What do you do at that point?
For example, I have a meeting in about 20 minutes. I am as prepared for it as I can be. So, here’s what I do:
- check my gmail
- open up Google Reader and look at all of the new stories to come through
- go to the restroom
- come back to my desk
- check gmail/google reader again
By this point, there is nothing new. What do you do when you get bored sufing the internet and/or your RSS newsreader has no new updates?
