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.
