Analog Saturdays
I was looking through my timesheets and I spend about ten hours a day on
my computer working. Another two or three hours are spent reading blogs,
checking email, looking at the weather, and finding inspiration. I spend
at least 60 hours a week on my computer.
I usually watch a couple of movies a week. Most movies last around an hour
and half, so that's another three hours in front of a screen. I am a pretty
big fan of the New Orleans Saints, so I watch a couple of football games
a week. Football games usually last about three hours. I also enjoy playing
video games for an average of four hours a week. I'm in front of a TV or
movie screen for at least 13 hours a week. (read

spent on a project. Clients expect an estimate for the work to be done.
