Multitasking Revisited

Last summer, I posted a short rant on multitasking. If you don’t want to read, it was my normal type of rant where I complain about people taking an already generalized statement and apply it even more widely.

This week, in response to that post (some responses take longer than others), I received a pointer to a little multitasking test that I thought would be fun to share. I’m not affiliated, no kickback, blah blah blah, just sharing because I think it’s interesting. I embedded the test below, but you can go straight to the source at http://open-site.org/blog/the-multitask-test/ as well. (note – the embedded version doesn’t always work that well, so head on over to the open-site.org page if you’re having problems).
