I've decided to start practicing a social media Shabbat--which means that from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday I'm going to unplug from the social networks and devote my time to slower activities. This month will be devoted to letter writing. I asked Facebook friends who wanted me to postmark them a letter this month and I got a whopping 14 responses! Might not seem like a big number but these are letters not just notes, so I need to make some headway and some space for this activity. Hopefully this Shabbat will help me do that. Eventually I'd like to turn this into a technology Shabbat. It's a trendy thing to do but it seems worth while. I'll tell you how it goes. You can read more about this idea in the article The Longest Day...
Okay the sun is setting over the Cascades and so I unplug.

I love this idea. It will only become more important as technology becomes ever-more pervasive. Now tell me more about that sun setting over the Cascades thing.
Oh wow. I'm so bonkers tired I got my East and West mixed up. Oh well.
Welcome back! I think a media Shabbat is a great idea. I hope it went well!
