The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices

Amateurs.

Amateurs.

Clearly they don't have desk jobs.

A co-worker signed onto Netflix during a requirements gathering meeting today to demonstrate their list re-ordering functionality. First off, how did I not know you could drag and drop movie titles around the lists? Duh! Also, he had 9 movies in his list. Now that I've cleared my streamable ones out of the DVD list, I have 385. Thank dog no one asked me to log in. The shame.

Haiti Rescuers Deliver Newborn On Aircraft Carrier

The newborn was then named after the aircraft carrier.

Three-day-old Vinson is one of the youngest survivors of the Haiti earthquake. His mother escaped the earthquake and spent three days waiting to be treated by a Port-au-Prince hospital, before going into labor in a rescue helicopter on the way to the U.S.S. Vinson, the baby's namesake.

I've got 65...I use it a lot. Nine? Can't imagine.

My father-in-law was on the Vinson way back when!

I can play the Kevin Bacon game with a newborn Haitian refugee. The world, it is small.

I have 400+ in my queue, but there are a lot of multi-disc items—mostly tv shows.

Wow, Vinson is lucky he wasn't born on a ship with a worse name. Vinson isn't so bad.

So, I am fighting the bitter desire for schadenfreude. See, an ex got laid off a couple weeks ago. Which i was only minorly enjoying. But then I found out Monday night that shed actually gotten FIRED. Which was soooo much more fun to think about her deserving. Only she got a new job today, one that sounds even freaking cooler. Like, working at a video game developer cool. I got no time to enjoy her misery that she brought upon herself by doing something stupid to get fired! (that was the story I heard). Hrmph.

I could lop a hundred off by removing series discs. I'm sure I'd still look weird.

172 in my (other company) queue.

Looking at mine, we have drag and drop as well. Huh. I don't know that I want to reorder though. I kinda like the surprise.

I maxed out my netflix queue.[edited after looking -it's down to 489] I am bad about just tossing on whatever looks ineresting and then never watching anything at all. I've got discs over on the shelf right now that I've had out for months. But I don't feel like watching them. And there's a lot of stuff on my DVR, that takes priority.

Kat, your whitefonted Bailey quote made me say "That's the Bailey I love" out loud.
