Early Senior Moments
Has this ever happened to you? An idea pops into your head and you open up your web browser to check it out. But because the home page of your web browser is pointed to a news website, the minute you see the home page filled with news (good and bad) you completely forgot what it was that you had meant to look up only one second ago
Yeah, that happens to me too - more often with a Smalltalk image than a browser, maybe, but the same thing. This resonated because of something that happened last night - my wife sat down at her PC, which is across the foyer from my office. Right after sitting down, she burst out with "Why am I here?"
Aging is definitely better than the alternative though :)

I tried a busier home page, but I've always settled on something sparse, and my home computers all default to search.yahoo.com. At the office I use about:blank on IE and yahoo on Firefox. I have tried over the years to create specific link pages, but that has always ended up seeming like too much maintenance.
One idea that just popped into my head would be to create a del.icio.us tag "homepage" which contains my common or home page links and then set that tag as my homepage. I might have to give that a try.
