The order varies, but this is a typical morning: I come downstairs at 7:30, turn on the laptop and pour my first cup of coffee...

1. Comcast.net homepage for headlines, weather
2. Email check (3 accounts on one client); immediate responses as required
3. Poly check
4. NY Times top stories (email); click through to any of interest
5. Scan current Google alerts (these are work-related)
6. Work/triage -- assign industry newsletters, emails to project folders
7. Check FFZ, CBS Sportsline, fantasy sports sites if seasonally relevant
8. Comics: xkcd, BasicInstructions.net (about 2x/week)
9. Check IM to see if daughter is online and feeling chatty (she's studying in France)
10. Check Poly again

By now it's maybe 8:00 or 8:15. time to go outside, get the newspaper, then return to pour a 2nd cup of coffee and start work.
