Did you see the article in the New York Times – I need a virtual break? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/02/fashion/02sabbath.html?_r=1&ex=1362114000&en=853923d02e399ac3&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&oref=slogin

Funny how in the article it talks about taking a break over the weeknd, when the break was only 24 hours long… I thought weekends were 2 days long… at least before I started school!

For me taking the train is my sanctuary away from technology where I can begin to think things through. I am one of those people who keeps the laptop near my bed. I really think I should break that habit.
:) K.

I leave my computer on most of the time when I’m at home and awake, and I leave the volume on my speakers turned up so I can hear my email notifier even if I’m in the next room. I find the most unpleasant part of taking the train home to Toronto is not being able to check my email for 4-5 hours (though once I have a little money I’ll probably just pay for the onboard Wi-Fi). But as for normal people, I can’t help you there.
