How much time do you spend per day with the New Media? Watching TV, reading/writing email, surfing the web for entertainment and/or information, playing video games?

I found your blog originally in the Blog 365 Mega Feed and added you to my reader some time ago. I enjoy the fact that you allow your entire post to show up in Google Reader.

Hugs and blessings,
