The hyperactive pace of internet life can sometimes get me down. Now that I have wireless access at home (thank you unidentified neighbor), I feel the impulse to check my regular list of sites and feeds. It’s funny they’re called ‘feeds’, because I never quite feel satiated afterwards, just overloaded. It’s nice to be able to look-up movie times from my couch, but the frantic onslaught of innumerable websites hurling all their news, gossip and rumors at me can be overwhelming. I’ve found it’s essential to have a buffer (such as the inability to even go online from home). When Spring rolls around, I often feel the urge to learn how to cook better, take long walks and just lounge around outside. To quote a marketing campaign I created several years ago, “Unplug.”
