Is it just me or do people spend WAY too much bloody time on their computers? With all the gizmos, gyros and contraptions to stay in the “loop” more and more people lose touch with reality and IRL “real life” I remember before I got a computer how much I used to read, I’d devour a book a day. It’s taken me bloody years to trudge through HPHBP (Harry Potter Half Blood Prince) I’m not even to the middle.

At home, at school, at work, in the little coffee shop around the corner from your apartment at 45th and Main. That being said here’s a little clip I found humorous:
