I think I have become an Internet addict. When the internet went down this afternoon at work, I feel uneasy. I walked around the office to get water, juice or whatever that gets me off my seat; Opening the browser ever so often to check if the Internet connection magically resumed; Typing this blog entry in Microsoft Word just to transfer to my blog as soon as the internet is up again.

Crazy. I think my internet usage behaviour has impeded my productivity at work and really needs to be reduced. If I have to give awards to the websites which wasted most time, they would be: gmail.com, google.ca, youtube.com, craigslist.ca, megavideo.com and facebook.com. Note that my favourite company Google owns three of these awards.

It is interesting and still quite puzzling to me why one would say a tooth grow in instead of grow out when a tooth comes out from the gum.

And why would one says fill out a form, instead of fill in a form. But then they would say fill in the blank space, and not fill out the blank space, even though the space to be filled in is on the form to be filled out.

There are a few books that I want to read in 2009. My goal is to read at least 25 books this year. (last edited: August 4, 2009)

• The Wealthy Barber by David Chilton
• Twenty books of The Holy Bible
• The Green Collar Economy by Van Jones
• Why Your World is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller by Jeff Rubin

I will keep reading and keep updating this list.

Books read this year (and counting) (as of July 23, 2009):

• Who Moved by Cheese? by Spencer Johnson
• Outlier by Malcolm Gladwell
