Interesting Links: 24th Jan 2007
Its time for another bout of interesting links I have found while idly browsing between failed attempts at decorating the house.

Formula For Procrastination Found?
Seeing as both ScienceDaily, CNet News and the place I got the original story from (Slashdot) have more than enough procrastination jokes I will just get straight to the point.
