Procrastination

Don't you love those days like this?

Procrastination seems to be getting more and more problematic as time goes by. Piers Steel, a University of Calgary psychology professor, has finished a five-year study (in ten years) about procrastination. It seems in 1978, only 5% of the people admitted to being a procrastinator. Now, it is around 26%! I guess this modern world of iPods, Wii, Playstations, and Internet makes it a bit easier to procrastinate.

Full feeds away!


One of my biggest pet peeves when browsing through the wonderful group of blogs and podcasts on my google reader page is when a feed is not set to show the whole article. I mean, I understand that people are trying to drive you to their site for hits or ad reasons, but it still is annoying to have to click out of google reader to read something. Thanks to tabbed browsing, its not too bad, but still let's all show the full feeds!

Now there is some scientific reasoning behind show the full feeds. Ok, not scientific, but at least a valid reason. Leon Ho's blog posted an article about drawing more subscribers to your site, and guess what!? Full Feed instead of Partial Feed is the first idea!
