10. You are convinced T.S.Eliot stole the name for his poem from a couple of Indian guys.
9. You look for ways to read your office email through bloglines.
8. You refresh blogger comment windows lots of times, to try and see if your name shows up as the word verification graphic. (not yet.)
7. You hold hands with your wife a lot more, because it is a way to link to her. You also insist she hold your other hand.
6. Your favorite beverages are Google Juice and Bridal Beer.
5. When your employees ask you for comments, you ask them for a trackback link.
4. You wonder if Atom feeds are edible, and are reasonably sure that blogrolls taste better than cinnamon rolls (which suck anyway).
3. You Copyscape protect emails to your mom.
2. You have memorized the IP addresses of all the gambling websites ever created, and can recite them backwards and forwards.
1. When someone asks you for your name, you go “a href equals http colon double slash www dot stochastica dot net Karthik” and gesture with your fingers to make sure the quotes don’t get lost and invalidate your xhtml.
PS: Yes it is a Friday. Yes I am bored.

[…] Karthik of Stochastica comes up with a list of top ten signs related to Blog addiction. At this rate we might even end up asking the government to bring Internet connections and Blogging sites under Essential Services Maintenance Act. […]
LOL! Pretty funny. Loved the fave beverages one.
Patrix, thanks.
I like the one about holding hands !!
LOL
Hahaha! I haven’t done the comment refresh thing yet, but I endowed witha weird enought name for it to show up sometime.
LOL. Good one!
The last point is 100% correct. I have almost introduced me as “Chandrachoodan, selective amnesia” and only caught myself at the last moment. This was to a bunch of people who will not know what blogs are in a hurry — potential employers.
Ravages, I am glad you pulled back at the end. Wonder how they would’ve reacted if you’d added Selective Amnesia to your name… would they have assumed you’re talking about an affliction, maybe?
Came thru Desi Pundit.
Frankly, I was disappointed.
