Internet and productivity

Illustration Friday: Nutrition
Collab entry for Illustration Friday. This week's topic: "Nutrition"
(What can I say? I felt like drawing a robot. :-) )


Thanks so much to Walter for pointing me to various maps of Toronto Parks and Trails as well as the Discovery Walks in response to yesterday's Blathering. And thanks to Kate for explaining how to get to Edwards Gardens from our new house via the trails; I realize now where I took a wrong turn.

Made Gingered Shrimp with Soba last night, a recipe from one of the Moosewood Cookbooks. Turned out pretty well; so far I have yet to try a Moosewood recipe I haven't liked. I found the recipe online, if anyone's interested.

I recently posted a poll asking how people with constant Internet access stayed productive and minimized their time online. I've been experimenting with a 5-minute timer, and so far it's been working well. Whenever I take a break to check e-mail or "just check a fact", the timer keeps me aware of how much time is passing.

Anyway, here are some of the responses to my poll:
