Shutdown Day is 3 May
written 24 Apr 2008 in the earliest morning
I happened across Chicago design firm 10 Volt Media’s blog today where I noticed this article about Shutdown Day.
It is obvious that without computers we would find our life extremely difficult, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope? Shutdown your computer on 03 May 2008 and find out!
They go on to mention that it’d be nifty to see the effects of completely unplugging for an entire day: if en mass people ignored their televisions, computers, iPods, PDAs and cell phones for an entire day. If even a small percentage of the regular pluggable crowd were to do this, what effect would it have on society, the economy, daytime soaps?

Here's what I listen to: (?)
I use Last.fm's Mac Menu Bar Scrobbler, which builds an RSS feed out of whatever I'm playing in iTunes. If you think it's as nifty as I do, check out Last.fm and if we seem to have similar taste, feel free to make me your friend. :)

I use Twitter to help me keep track of the things I do in life that I find enjoyable. For example, if I go for a bike ride or take a walk with my family, I just make a quick note. That way, if I'm ever feeling like life's lacking, I can just get a little reminder.
