This Saturday the 24th is Shutdown Day. Can you go 24 hours without checking your email, writing on your blog, posting comments on FTSA or checking my RSS feed? I bet you can. I am turning off my Mac Saturday and Sunday. There is no survey this weekend. Partly because of Shutdown Day (It’s like a blog-sabbath), but primarily because my wife’s birthday and our 2 year anniversary are this weekend.

What about the webstream????? I go into minor depression when I can’t get it for some reason. I know you can worship and pray in silence, but I don’t think it is in my DNA. This might require that I break out cds, reserved only for riding in the car and prayer at church.
I could probably do the no email and blog thing, maybe, but I don’t know about the feed.

I could do it, but I choose not to do so.
I know, I sound like an addict, which is quite possibly the case. But I do spend time with no computer ever so often. It’s not like I’m unused to this practice.

ah I could totally do it and I think I just might for that little motivation of giving something up that I know I honestly do not need. plus it’ll be nice to be away from technology like I was when I was at the OneThing in Sacramento..

I like the idea - A LOT! Unfortunately, I’m on-call for work this weekend so I will have to silently keep my computer on without letting too many of my friends know.
Congrats on the 2 year anniversary. My wife and I have been married 1.5 years and we love it.

I’m with Idhrendur. I’m going to take advantage of the freed up servers and cruise…like driving on the freeway in the middle of the night…no one else is around to slow me down.
