Unplugged

If you wondering where I've been the last few days, here's my story. It's something every wired person should do: Just Unplug. That's what I did the last couple days (my weekend). After I left the office on Thursday night, I locked my laptop away, turned off my cell phone, and didn't get online for my entire two days off. (OK, I lied -- I got on my wife's computer to check the TV Listings when the TV Guide channel was running that concert on top of the listings. But that was it).

It was therapeutic, actually. After checking my voicemail and e-mail today, I probably should've paid attention a bit more, but you know what? It can wait. Every geek needs a break, and considering all the things I have to do today that are due in the next couple days, I really needed it.

Now, back to work.

Yes, unplugging one's self from the cyberspaceblogosphere is a really good idea at times. But voluntarily, not like my forced withdrawal last weekend;-)
