i am taking a year away from the internet, at least as much as possible, outside of e-mail i intend to just, disconnect.
alas i will miss out on the shenanigans here, as i don't really do facebook or twitter or any message boards, but i suppose that is the point of all this. i've had a website / thought of a part of my life in terms of digital representation and the ability to publish ideas freely for my entire adult life, and have seen the internet deteriorate from a realm of possibility and inspiration in the mid-90s to the mall it is today.
and i have been wondering for some time how all this affects how i think, how i live, the choices i make, the processes or desired outcomes of my work... and i think none of it has any net positive effect, outside of a certain respect for nice presentations.
so i'm going to leave it all behind for a while and just disconnect my life as much as i can from online. i shut down my long-running blog and am just leaving a portfolio of work up for job applications and whatnot to reference. you kids play nice, this is one of the last pieces of the internet i'll actually miss.
