Unplugging 2009

by Brian on 08-04-2009

Just like last year I’ll be away from blogging for the first part of August. I’ll still be using email and Facebook… I think I might actually use Facebook more than I have before.

My brother is getting married on Saturday so this is a perfect time to focus on the more ‘real’ and fundamental, interpersonal stuff.

I’m pretty well in the that mode now after I spent a great long weekend with the lads, cruising around a lake in bunch of houseboats. There were no computers in sight (no clocks either, come to think of it); I didn’t miss being wired at all.

It won’t be totally non-digital, just non-nerdy: Twitter, out; Facebook, in. (Btw my Facebook username is bd.frank — same as my Google Profile/Gmail – and if you’re reading this we’re friends-enough for Facebook friends.

I’ll see how it works out and report back in a week or so… My provisional non-blogging plans include:

  • going to the blogger meetup on Wednesday
  • maybe ‘working’ on the first-tan-I’ve-had-in-six-years
  • finally putting the rest of my CDs into iTunes; listening to more music and setting up decent playlists
  • playing guitar
  • playing bass guitar
  • exercising: maybe going for a run or two and thinking about getting a bike
  • or maybe not… maybe just walking somewhere and reading Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It and thinking about turning my experience into a cleverly written book… and then not doing that either
  • surfing the web without Google Reader: actually browsing and ‘experiencing’ all the different sites
  • listening to podcasts
  • maybe looking more into doing a podcast too
  • watching Fast and the Furious 4
  • getting a proper amount of sleep

Good night.
