Sweet Freedom

Gizmodo asks, "Could you stand to be without your computer, just for one day?" And I answer, "Hell, yeah!" (I occasionally do, and quite happily.)

But for those who love to try to deny themselves the things they like, there is the forthcoming "Ditch Your Computer for a Day":

The 24-hour period in question is March 24, which happens to fall on a Saturday....

Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!

Hey, this is like that "turn off your TV" day.

"Turn off your TV" day--now that's an easy one! I will actually be in Stamford, CT, at the 30th Annual Crossword Puzzle Tournament on March 24, so it will be easy enough for me!
