Hi, my name is Sam, and I'm an infoholic

OK, I admit it. I have a problem. I think I've had this problem for some years now. I'm a geek and I am addicted to information.

Right now I've got 6 tabs open in my browser, each working with quite different subjects. But that's not the thing. The thing is that I just saw an ad for a technology I didn't know existed. Clicking to the site I had a feeling of panic - Why don't I know about this? What is it? What is it good for? I rushed around the site sucking up information, terrified of not understanding what this was. It doesn't matter what it was, it was my reaction that I noticed.

Sheesh. I've known about this for a while, and as I'm getting older I've realised that I have less time than I used to to keep on top of everything that's new. It's not something I can quit. Is it?
