Why We're Powerless To Resist Grazing On Endless Web Data

Not that this is an excuse for my many hours online, but above is an article telling us perhaps why we are so addicted to finding new info on the Net.

MotoGP: the best motor-racing series?
It's hard to argue against it.
Compared to Formula 1, where sometimes the only passing takes place in the pits, passing in MotoGP can take place anywhere, anytime.
Add to that the fact that there is no dominant force in the series, and your have a very open competition, which makes for great racing and great watching.
This variability is compounded by the great tyre war between Bridgestone and Michelin. What this means is that certain teams will do better than others because their tyres perform more consistently at certain circuits.
Take the first race for 2008 for example. The season starts at Qatar, and will be held at night, for the first time. Night racing means lower track temperatures, which affect the performace of tyres.
Qualifying results show the tyre factor at work. Most of the top qualifiers were on Michelin, with Casey Stoner (current world champion) the exception, qualifying 4th on his Bridgestone-shod Ducati.
It should be a great race to watch, with new riders arriving at MotoGP (Jorge Lorenzo qualified 1st, with fellow debutant James Toseland at 2nd) and also new bikes, which will hopefully show which manufacturer has stolen a march on the competition during the winter break.

ASUS to unveil Eee PC Touch?
ClubEee - VR-Zone IT & Lifestyle Forum
Not sure how accurate this info is...especially after ASUS seemed to crush the rumours (see next post below). In any case, I shouldn't buy a Eee PC now, as its more a want than a need...

Sad news...I would buy a Eee PC if it came with a touchscreen. Guess I have to look elsewhere...

Finding Time
After kidding myself by giving excuses (it's a tough watch, and so can go anywhere), I finally stopped wearing my trusty G-Shock watch together with workwear when the battery went flat. Not a moment too late, on hindsight.
The result? A couple months of nothing on my right wrist. (BTW, I have been wearing watches on my right hand even though I'm right-handed ever since I can remember wearing a watch)
Prospective choices have come and gone, and I've pretty much set my sights on a few "must-have" features for my workwear watch.

Prospective choices have come and gone, and I've pretty much set my sights on a few "must-have" features for my workwear watch.
- black rubber strap - more durable than a leather strap, less common than a metal strap
- black watch face - white text on black background is so much classier
- silver metallic rim - you still need some contrast
Optional considerations include a multi-hand dial, and yellow or orange text.
My search? It goes on...
