Computing, Blog(s), Etc.

1. Yes, I am still writing online, it is just that my wife talked me into keeping two blogs. (The other seems to be at least a weekly endeavor.)

2. We have returned from California to the snow and the Flu. How can anyone's body produce this much mucus? (not to be gross) How can any place produce so much snow? Never having left the snow during winter before, it is a terribly odd thing to know that people are sitting outside having dinner right now. Doing yoga on the beach. What?

3. I have decided two things: One, I will begin limiting myself to three days a week of internet (this includes email) usage. Two, in the month of May, I will not use the internet at all. Not once. It is (or perhaps is not) strange how excited I am about this.

4. I reada fantastic interview with Nicolas Carr in the current issue of The Sun, which made me think a bit more seriously about my internet usage. Old readers will recall that this has been on my mind for many years now, and I suppose I am simply trying to be more conscious of my connection to the computer.

5. I am heading for South by Southwest in a week, and excited to see a bunch of great bands. It is overwhelming really, how many there are. How many the world will never hear.
