Halley talks about taking a day away from online:<\/p>\n
I had this conversation with Joi Ito about S-L-O-W-I-N-G D-O-W-N. I threw out a challenge — spend 24 hours not talking, not emailing, not IM’ing, not IRC’ing, not communicating in anyway. Just a silent sunday — this coming sunday actually — for 24 hours.<\/p>\n
You do get to use one hand-held device. A rock. Just keep it in the palm of your hand. Get the urge to IM someone — just tell the rock. Get the need to email someone else — just think the message through your rock. Get the temptation to talk — no talking — just look at your rock.<\/p>\n
So far the toughest thing is explaining to people that you will will be incommunicato — really not available, really out of reach, really out of pocket — at least in the traditional ways of communicating.<\/p>\n

I really like the sound of this and have been thinking about doing something like that sometime soon. Disconnecting myself for a day. I think it would be a nice break. Mad William Flint<\/a> also commented on this post<\/a> with some interesting stuff. I’ll have to think of this. I wonder if I have to talk to a rock. I want to talk to my stuffed cat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
