Onesome: World-- Wide Web resources? Is there one particular area of your life, personal or professional, where you use the web as an informational resource? Knitting? Medical? Research?

I'm a flippin' reference librarian (some of the time)! I use it for everything from finding out about prescription drug interactions to printing tax forms, from printing seahorse photos to creating Interlibrary Loan requests, from CIA Fact Sheets to finding out what the correct indicator field in a 100 field in MARC record should be for a peron with one name only, from Meebo-ing to California fire maps. I'm all over the web. All day. Every day. A day without the web is a day spent shelfreading the fiction section or (at home) reading a book or cooking dinner.

Twosome: of-- the 168 hours in a given week, how much time do you spend on the computer? No, we're not looking to plan an intervention, just curious...

Here's how I figure it:

52 hours of sleep = 116 hours
25 hours interacting with people f2f (away from a computer) = 91
20 hours shopping, cleaning, dealing with reality in other ways = 71
15 hours eating (away from a computer) = 56
8 hours in the car for various reasons = 48

v.

28 hours using a computer at work = 20
20 hours using a computer at home = 0

Threesome : Warcraft--

games? Poker games? Role playing games? Do you play games on your computer? Really? What kind of games?

I've rediscovered Solitaire lately, but I also use the net for Sudoku, dominoes and assorted tetris-like games. I can get quite buried in Simming, though it's cyclic (Sparky just purchased Sim-City 4 yesterday, however, so I may disappear from Online again soon!). Don't do MORPGs though. Not my cuppa.
