In the past 10 years I have really turned into an information junkie. Between headline news and the Internet I'm up to date on a multitude of topics. Whatever happened to downtime, looking out the window and guessing the temperature.
Now I look left at my atomic clock, get the time to the second, inside and outside temperatures, day and date....
A lot of the information is good to have, breaking news or world events. But I'm already sick of the tabloid information like the Tiger Woods scandal, getting updates on which sponsor is the latest to cancel his contract (Pepsi).
When will people learn that athletes are not heroes.... He puts a little ball in a hole, there is a very bad joke in there but I'll leave it to your imagination.
The best benefit of all this information is, its dramatically improved my Jeopardy skills. I can remember playing in my 20s and was not nearly as successful.... I'd like to think I'm improving with age but that just may be wishful thinking on my part.

From the coverage in US news you'd think there was nothing going on in the world to report on right now - it's pathetic. He's a man and he cheated - big deal, happens thousands of times every day.
You really need Twitter. That's when you get updates in seconds! I've already missed updates while I'm commenting on your blog! Gotta go.....
