Why can we replace the ‘g’ in words with a single quote? Why do I think I can talk with a cowboy twang?!
Is it wrong for a nerd to enjoy the sun? I’ve been actively trying to stay away from my computer these days except for work related tasks. It is quite funny/scary the amount of time that I’ve actually gained from not being infront of a computer screen. I’ve also discovered that monitor tan can easily be replaced with an actual tan from the sun quite easily.
Actually, it’s the start of a small experiment of disconnecting. I’ve discussed this in detail with my friends/family and figured that I should open up the dialog here (if the few of you out there are still reading). The whole context of the experiment is built around one premise: Is it possible for Ritchie (that’s me) to limit phone and Internet usage to the bare necessities?
Here are some details:
- Email is included from the disconnectin’
- Complete removal is impossible (as I work primarily through e-mail and with web technologies) so it is all about compartmentalization. Limiting the amount to work and just important work
- Switch phones to make texting harder (oh god!) and limiting the Internet and email checking through the phone
- More blog fodder, writing on an online blog about what I do online is getting a bit tired. This revelation came about through a draft blog post called “5 things I regularly do on the Internet” lame-o
I’m still getting things ready and defined. I’ll let you guys know, but for now I’m still on the Internet practically 24×7.
