I ignore the information. The only blog I follow is this one, and even then sometimes I end up staying away for a long while -- any other blog post I happen to read is an isolated post here and there as indicated by friends or something like that. I read my pile of books and magazines (Scientific American, always a year behind, and Smithsonian, even worse) as the urge arises, which means some of them have been sitting there for many months waiting their turn. No hurry, they ain't going nowhere. :-)<br /><br />After all, I have to have some time to practice music, play soccer (finally champion of my division in the Spring season, yay), play with Gato (see pic above), visit my girlfriend, hang out with friends, etc...J.

I feel like a hamster running on the stationary wheel.

Yes, blogging does help me to manage my information overload, to focus on what I think is important to write and read about, and to vent my frustration about the insanity of the world. If in the process I manage to help others as well, so much the better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099460671669064269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-69611371427938004452009-06-08T12:48:58.892-04:002009-06-08T12:48:58.892-04:00I think Keith Olbermann is great!

Then there's your blog Massimo, Tom Degan's The Rant, Pharyngula, Alternet, Thom Hartmann, science magazines...ack! Information overload! How does everyone here manage their information overload? Do you think blogging helps since it is a way of prioritizing and thinking about the information you consume so you can write about it?LCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230899522753297278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-91354385937609716952009-06-07T23:36:33.403-04:002009-06-07T23:36:33.403-04:00Regarding the NT times article:
