i know too much
I read too much information, mostly because bloglines makes it easy for me, but coupled with the mailing lists I subscribe to (underscore being the main culprit, the only one I allow directly into my work email and read in real-time), I get to digest an excessive amount of information every day.
As a result I have no urge to read newspapers anymore, as they always seem way out of date - the same information arrives digitally on my screen almost as soon as it happens. I’m also still sticking to my self imposed ban on buying magazines, so the advertisers aren’t getting to me as much as they would like
UPDATE: someone just posted this to underscore about 2 minutes after I posted this - a hack to make firefox confront you after 5 minutes of aimless surfing, so you have to justify your case for continuing
