Lately I’ve been doing some reflecting on my daily routine with all these “cutting edge” information gathering and personal publishing technologies that seem to have taken over much of my life. It’s hard to believe that I’m coming up on three years since I made my first tentative post to Metafilter and started down this most excellent and time consuming blogging ed-venture. It’s also hard to believe how different my process is when it comes to the news and information of the world. Used to be I’d buy the paper version of the New York Times and listen to CNN. Not anymore. I’m feeling the need to document that process a bit because I know three years from now it’s going to be vastly different again. So, for posterity, here’s my daily routine.
All the while I’m either Furling or making notes in Manila or trying to wrap my head around all of this stuff I’m taking in, way more than any mere mortal like me can handle. And it does beg the question, what do I really do with all of this stuff? Some of it sticks, I know. But much of it just gets filed and forgotten. Still, at least I always have something to talk about at dinner parties…
