Sans Internet

This morning I was greeted by a single blinking LED on my modem, and no cable either. Oy. Luckily I had a meeting elsewhere in the AM, and assumed the problem would be brief. Upon my return 2 hours later, however, every cable box on my block was thrown open and a repair crew was working it’s way down the road. Double-Oy. The way my mouse gravitated to the crippled Firefox icon was incredible.

After I finished toiling over the emailing and uploading I could be doing, I settled in to do a little design on a side project that got pushed back on my list a few too many times. 2 hours later, I was smacked in the face by how much of a blessing-in-disguise losing the Internet was. I never realized how much the little side clicks or gReads really added up to leech away productivity.

Today’s lesson: Got Connectivity? Leave the browser alone once in a while.

This Blog

I’m excited to get back into the blogosphere after an extensive absence. I’ve been inspired to start writing again by many different people and I hope to keep to it.
