Parenthood and Unplugging

October 31, 2007 — 2 Comments

Starting November 1st, I will be unplugging from the web. My wife and I are expecting our first child December 4th, and I can think of no better reason to spend some time away.

I’m going to start a month early because unplugging is going to be hard, and I want some time to practice.

I will continue working, Crowd Favorite is wonderfully busy, and we’re hiring. Please understand if I do take more time to respond to work requests.

Starting November 1st, here’s what will change:

  • I won’t be checking email regularly. If you email me and I don’t respond, please be patient. I will be trying to keep up.
  • I won’t be on any Instant Messanger network.
  • I won’t be tracking any of the social networks I’m involved with, including Facebook and MySpace.

This is an exciting time for me and I appreciate your patience as I shift my focus away from the online world.
