Time is the most valuable commodity in the world. Let’s all help each other waste some.
Posted in Uncategorized
Let’s be honest here, the only reason 99% of you read this blog is to waste a bit of time during the working day.
Of course, I am chest-puffingly proud of making a contribution to that (I dream of the day I am officially responsible for 100,000 wasted man hours), but I wonder…
Where else do you go to piss about from nine to five?
I’ll start with a few of my own crackers:
All of the previous day’s football highlights.
Quid pro quo, Clarice…
reddit.com. a epic time and energy sucker. and this mind pollutant http://www.wwtdd.com/
Boing Boing
Dinosaurs and Robots
Springwise
Tumblr -> follow 200 people -> never work again
Football hooligan message boards. Today will be a good read after Brum v WEest Ham last night went off pwopa nawty.

1)Linked-in – especially groups in the states. They are all very serious and don’t always get sarcasm. So it forces you to be serious and less sarcastic. I have realised sarcasm doesn’t work well in writing. Also that on the whole sarcasm is very gamey.
2) Interacting with my favourite brands of course. Spin the bottle.

Not sure that it’s strictly ‘time wasted’ though.
Here’s a couple to get you started….
Sir Ken Robinson is truly inspirational:

Ben – you used to blogroll Ted. You’d rather have ‘3 and In’ up there?

Just a thought.
