And if you're gonna move back forth to and from Florida(I assume you're moving out of state) as much as you do, you should at least sync your moves up so that you move out during hurricane season and back when it's over in time for Mickey's birthday party. PS Still gay for you. Dude, why you always moving?

I tend to use the sponge technique... I like getting some repeats in stories, as it's a helpful prod that says "look at me! I'm an important story!" I figure if people are talking about it more, it should be worth my while. (Though that sounds similar to what you commented on, albeit on the smaller scale.)

But I found a lot of duplication in the stories covered, like 3-4 sites on the same thing with nothing new to say. I'm getting most of the information I had before in a lot less time. I'm okay with missing some of the smaller stuff I might have otherwise caught; if the news is important enough it will make its way to me. Zach, I get that and it’s why I use google reader too.

For some reason I think I feel the crunch a bit less than I used to. I unsubscribed from the diggs or the Slashdots, just because they were putting out way too many stories to track. Part of it is likely that I can get my feeds on the go (via Newsgator's iPhone app), and it turns out that I have a lot of downtime (waiting to get seated, waiting for whatever, etc.) Just takes a couple moments to stay up-to-date, and I only lose out on time that would be dead to me anyway.

]]> Comment on A different view on money and wealth by ses5909 http://iamvinnie.com/2008/04/09/a-different-view-on-money-and-wealth/#comment-6 ses5909 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:08:00 +0000 http://iamvinnie.com/?p=16#comment-6 I think you said it quite well and you sound an awful lot like me. It was a hard move to go back to working at the office, but unfortunately I had to do that in order to pay the mortgage and other bills. That being said, I was able to be really choosy about the kind of environment I worked in. I am really not a 9-5'er. If I can start work at 6 am and leave at 2:30.. I'm a happy girl. If I have the ability to work at home if the kids are sick rather thank taking a day off, that is worth a lot. Being able to work 12 hours one day so I can work 4 another is great. Because there are so many options up here for developers, I was able to find that kind of environment and so far, so good. I do miss a lot of aspects of working at home though and hopefully will be able to do so again relatively soon! I think you said it quite well and you sound an awful lot like me.
