What I am going to do this morning

Having just finished my coffee and toast, quickly scanned a few blogs, and deleted all the "Received" notices from two e-mails I sent out at work yesterday, I am now going to clear my desk of its fecund piles of papers and books.

It recently struck me that the reason it's so easy to sit down and spend hours on the internet is that my computer monitor screen is a vertical surface, and, thus, I cannot pile anything on it, obstructing my "workspace." (Which doesn't mean I can't pile things on top of the monitor, but those things don't clutter my view of the screen.)
