I write this from my desk at work in an old fashioned word processor. A large section of North West DC, including my office is without internet access and no signal from the Powers That Be, when our connectivity will return. Although I'm still (obviously) obsessed with external communication, it's liberating. I spent my morning culling my inbox, catching up on paperwork, organizing my to-dos… NOT checking what's happening with Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, and Ron Paul. NOT checking the wonk blogs or browsing the news of the day, and it's liberating. I feel unencumbered and less upset by the ugly ugly place that the World is. Will this inspire a new set of internetting rules? Probably not. But it's good to realize that there is a way to ease the ill feeling that I get in the pit of my stomach some mornings as I check up on 'friends' blogs and catch up on the wars… Maybe knowing is half the battle.
