on being a cow

This has been harder than I expected. I really thought having this kind of platform would be great for getting all my ideas, thoughts, inspirations, etc down... but I have been unable to tear myself away from the articles I'm reading and sites I'm exploring for long enough to post something! I'm a perfect example of the clichéd MTV generation. But I'm just a hungry little information cow that likes learning... or perhaps stimulation, and my current drug of choice is Google Reader. It's like random Wikipedia sprees on speed. And during my search I found something totally appropriate, and even obvious, an article in the Wall Street Journal "Why We're Powerless to Resist Grazing on Endless Web Data". It cites a simple study in which people viewed two basic types of photographs; essentially boring versus interesting. The results aren't surprising. So perhaps I should take the advice and try shooting something as addictive and choc full of new information in the vein of addictive web grazing... athough it might be easier and more effective just to link to Interestingness.
