Anyone else spend many wasted hours looking at articles on Digg.com or other media related site?

I think its become a problem for me.

Suprisingly, I find myself avoiding most news these days. It's almost all bad news involving some sort of human ignorance and degradity or celebrity gossip, none of which I find any worth knowing about. Quitting the news has felt quite liberating to be honest.

I play poker or video games. I do still follow gaming, science and tech news and some sports news. This seems to get my headline fill.

I knit.
Yes, I know I sound very old now, and people do make fun of me quite a bit, but I knit.
