This is a Computer Free Day


The Debi Cates' first official Computer Free Day!

Remember what the days were like before computers? I hardly do as I've been learning about and working on computers since 1980.

So, for the sake of long-overdue balance, I've decided I would try a pure, unadulterated computer free day. I wonder what it will be like without email, google, or blogging? (Not even TextTwist! Yikes!) I might not even turn on the TV for an even purer experience.

However, let's not go too crazy... a Dave Matthews CD will definitely be allowed.

Have fun today! See you Sunday.

Enjoy your computer-free day! Maybe I'll take one too as we have A;ex and Bill's son Steve here this weekend.

I'm out of here in a couple of hours, so it will be mostly a computer free day here too. Monday and Tuesday will definitely be offline days as we will be travelling to Rennes, maybe see you online tomorrow. Hasta la vista.

Oh, no! I'm not ready yet! I've been preparing psychologically for my 2 computer/cell phone/tv-free days next week, when we go to our friend's cottage in Muskoka. And now this! ... Actually, it does sound like a great idea, but I'll cheat and only do the daytime part of it.

I will be right there with you but starting tomorrow and going till next Monday. It will be a week free of computer and phones, ya-hoo! We will have TV but that is a treat to us since we don't have it at home.

Where did you get the CFD logo? You make it? What is the name of the font? Love it!!!

Debi, copyright this ASAP!!!! Let's make it official. I really truly love the idea...let's see what happens with you. Please write down any withdrawal symptoms so we can be warned when we try your experiment :)

Loved the logo, colors, etc. Simply enchanting!

Yes, I agree with both Antigone and Neda that your logo for this is perfect, and I also want to know the font! As for withdrawal symptoms, they started the minute I read your post! I'll let you know if I can resist going online at the cottage next week.

Me again! cfd next week for me! meantime, I had to tell you this: I put up just one book on bookmooch (because I couldn't find the box to give away) and it's been mooched already, by someone in Singapore! How fun is that ! Thanks for letting us know about this great place!
