Weird, I thought I was the only one who did that. Google Reader is an awesome tool, but it is also a time sink. I've had to close the browser and keep it closed, even nixing out Twhirl to remove the Twitter noise as well. Unfortunately, when I get back, the entire thing is flooded with good information I want to read and keep up with, and I've probably missed the latest announcements from big industry players (i.e. last week, I missed the Apple refreshes). I find myself emailing articles to myself instead of reading them, and then when I get home post-work day I end up deleting them instead of reading them. Vicious cycle.
