Off-topic: I survived a day without email or blogs!
My technology addiction survived a day of minimal connectivity. I have to think I was a better person for those disconnected hours.
While I was at the Dow Jones Venture One conference yesterday I was in total black hole of technology. I couldn't get on the wifi network and my Crackberry was caught in some kind of death spiral.
Miraculously, I survived the whole day with no email, minimal news and no blogging. And I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I long for the day when I can just carry a normal cellphone and don't have to be a robot.
This leads me to a bigger point, which is that I, like many others really have to stop taking this work stuff too seriously. There comes a point of over-connectedness that makes you incapable of human thought which makes people a lot less fun.
