How do you beat writer's block? 
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.

Disconnect the internet. Well, I haven't tried this before, but I'm going to try it at home for the month of February, as part of an overall remodeling of how I spend my free time, which, at the moment, is "unwisely." I'll have the internet at work, so I might still be posting here -- in fact, I was considering an ambitious post-a-day project that I might have more details on later -- but I figure freeing myself from the internet's icy time-wasting grip when I'm at home is absolutely worth experimenting with.

Of course, it probably also means I'll be celibate for the month of February unless I summon up the cojones to actually go to a bar and trick someone into thinking I'm worth going home with. But that'll be an interesting experiment too, since it'll be the longest I've been celibate in a loooong time...

What is your browser's default home page set to?

Always just a blank page -- it infuriates me to have to wait for something to load when half the time it's not the page I want anyway. I've thought about creating a "portal" page to host on DYFL.com, but the more I think about it my browsing habits wouldn't support using such a thing at all.

I do have a very specific setup of bookmark folders that I keep in Firefox's bookmark toolbar, so they're always quickly accessible (though unfortunately I sometimes think of them as the entirety of the Internet and don't browse beyond them, or just repetitively hit them over and over again); and when I'm at work I always have three tabs open: One for the web-based shipping app, one for browsing, and one for Gmail.
