The order varies, but this is a typical morning: I come downstairs at 7:30, turn on the laptop and pour my first cup of coffee...

1. Comcast.net homepage for headlines, weather
2. Email check (3 accounts on one client); immediate responses as required
3. Poly check
4. NY Times top stories (email); click through to any of interest
5. Scan current Google alerts (these are work-related)
6. Work/triage -- assign industry newsletters, emails to project folders
7. Check FFZ, CBS Sportsline, fantasy sports sites if seasonally relevant
8. Comics: xkcd, BasicInstructions.net (about 2x/week)
9. Check IM to see if daughter is online and feeling chatty (she's studying in France)
10. Check Poly again

By now it's maybe 8:00 or 8:15. time to go outside, get the newspaper, then return to pour a 2nd cup of coffee and start work.

[Kokomoxddcvcv]

1. Check various NYY blogs
2. Check in on 'poly
3. Check various political sites
4. Check google news
5. Check in on other baseball sites like Baseball Prospectus, Hardball Times, Fangraphs, etc.

At times, step 4 will include checking in on various online papers, but not always. Depends on what's goin' on.

Repeat.
