Talk about just not getting it..

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!

    Saw this over at Mike Sanders blog today: “Three observations after reading current blog entries: 1) The logic and intelligence a person has in one area does not usually transfer to other domains. 2) Personal bias, not intellect or logic, is the number one determinant on the conclusion a person will reach. 3) Blogging is…

    We survived my office holiday party last night. As they say back in my old neighborhood, there was no gun play so it was a good party! (No that’s not a trivial matter, there is quite a bit of animosity between various people in my office. *L*) Seriously though, the food was alright, (although Angela…

    Looks like Blogger switched me over to their new system this evening. I am now checking to make sure everything works, please let me know if you find something that doesn’t!
