The myth of “keeping up”
5/8/2006
Do you have a stack of books, journals, manuals, articles, API docs, and blog printouts that you think you’ll get to? That you think you need to read? Now, based on past experience, what are the odds you’ll get to all of it? Half of it? Any of it? (except for maybe the Wired magazine)

Technology
Current events
Pop culture
Professional practices
Health/fitness/diet trends
