Talk about just not getting it..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Saw this post over at the J-Walk blog. Apparently, someone has decided to do a study of how much we all read blogs at work:

Workers in the U.S will this year waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs, a study has suggested.

Yup, all those tips, ideas, solutions, and general tech information that you read here, and in many other blogs, is wasted time! Bet you didn’t know that.

You might want to make sure the next time your boss asks you where you heard about a technology, not to mention you read it on a blog. You might get labeled as one of those slacker blog-readers!

    Today is one of those perfect convergence days, where the first of the month, and therefore month-end reporting, falls on the same day as the first Monday of the month, which means the bi-weekly website database updates, with the added bonus of today being the last day before the election, spurring all sorts of last-minute…

  • A milestone

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    We’ve reached a milestone on this little blog. According to my copy of Table Editor, Eric Maynard left the 1000th comment on this blog earlier this evening. I am simply amazed.
