Shutdown day is approaching. It’s May 3rd, 2008!

What I will do

  • Turn off my desktop
  • Turn off my laptop
  • Turn off my routers
  • Turn off most of the lights
  • Read a book
  • Go for a bike ride

What I won’t do

  • Turn off the AC
  • Turn off the fridge

Why

I’m not doing this to decrease my “carbon footprint,” decrease dependence on foreign oil, or for any other political gain. I’m doing this because it is a healthy thing for any human to do once in a while. Taking a break from the highest levels of technology is good for the brain and the soul. Readers, please join me!
