It sounds crazy, I know, but courtesy of Mike Wurzer is an article directly addressing something I've believed personally for a long time: It's better to be doing something that's engaging than nothing... and the Internet counts.  A long time ago one of my mom's friends, upon hearing that I spent a lot of spare time reading and computing, referred to TV as "chewing gum for the mind" (now known to be quoting Richard Buckminster Fuller)... I never forgot that, and try to keep TV in its place.

Clay's dead on, and I'm adding him to the list of "people who should speak to our company".
