I have my first-of-the-day Web routine — inspirational, banking, Yahoo! News, Drudge, a blog or two, Facebook, a forum or two, email (>5 accounts), and so forth.
Some I do with careful focus (inspirational and banking, for instance).
Mostly, though, it’s about distractedly scanning SubjectLines and HeadLines.
Here’s a bit of what I saw:
Alien nativity display turns heads in NE Portland
Extremist Teachings Remain in Saudi Textbooks Despite Kingdom’s Claims of Reform
USPS tells carrier to stop dressing like Santa…
Abbas meets woman who aided 2001 murder of Israeli
(AP, so is Israel furious or merely disappointed?)
I also learned that Google offers three gender options: female, male, other. 😯
Facebook, on the other hand, still hasn’t discovered the other gender. They’re more interested in knowing whether you’re interested in men and/or/nor women.
What we need is, not someone “on the leading edge of societal evolution,” but someone “on the leading edge of personal redemption and societal reformation.” (That’s just a bonus thought from me as I listened briefly to another Mark. Maybe that could be this blog’s new slogan…)
Good day? (Now I’m quotelessly quoting someone else famous.)
