What a wasted oppertuniy for a reality show, right there in Yukon, a fly on the wall about what really goes on…

what woudl be really cool would of been to have your ISP turn off your service, and seeing if either you or Susan actually “find out”

In the past, from time to time, technology would suck up my free time: Video games, Photoshopping my pictures, writing programs, Facebook and other internet stuff and so on. In the past few years, not so much. Mostly it’s because other, less high-tech activities have taken over: hiking, biking, meetings with friends, road trips and so on. I’d like to spend more time updating my blog and spending more time with thoughtful comments on other blogs (instead of quips, which is my usual response, but time does no permit this.

So, if something happens that disrupts my internet access, it’s not a big deal like it would have been three years ago.

I look forward to how this week goes with the O’Hara family.

I make my kids turn off all technology from time to time, and they end up discovering games and books they haven’t looked at in a long time (or ever). They even–gasp–go outside.

Although Michelle and I place limits on the amount of “electronic time” the kids get, something like this could be a useful exercise for all involved. Can’t wait to hear how this goes. I imagine you’ll learn a great deal about yourself in this time.
