Re: Love the Internet

Ooooohhhhh…….INTERNETS…..(image of a drooling Homer Simpson)…I am an absolute JUNKIE.

@Orion…That thing you said about sitting down to pay bills and surfing mindlessly for hours before realizing you hadn’t even done what you sat down to do…THAT IS THE STORY OF EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE since I got internet. I have resisted Facebook, because I am a very private person, but as for the “brain-sucking” sites…I have a whole folder of brain suck bookmarks that are an ADDer’s dream/nightmare…I usually visit these at lunch (at work), and have to set an alarm to tell me to go clock back in because I went almost 20 minutes over my lunch HOUR surfing these sites.

I have learned, though, that there is actual INFORMATION on the internet, and have been trying my best to change my habits to where I am spending more time on tutorials for things I can actually use at my job (graphic designer – go figure!).

My two favorites (other than this site): thedailywh.at and fuzzysquid.com/LJ.php/ , which is some dude who wrote a code that sucks all the recently posted images from LiveJournal (yes, LiveJournal). There is some interesting stuff there if you AdBlock out the porn. When you get to the bottom of the page, just hit refresh for new stuff! Scary, how easily we get sucked into things like this.

Also, since I am very recently AH-HA – THIS site is my NEW addiction.
