It was you. She was cursing your name all weekend! :-) Nah. It was just a throwaway comment that hit closer to home than I liked, so I took her up on it. The initial dare was only for a day. When I agreed too quickly, she upped it to a month. Yeah, Paul. It was you. She was cursing your name all weekend! :-)

You know, that's kind of funny; the usual thing would be that you'd be asked not to do any work-related computer stuff while at home. Perhaps you're too into the blogging? What's especially funny, I think, is that now you're going to have to do all your blogging at work. Let's see what this does to your productivity. Another blog widow, fighting back?

I've had brief spans of time where I've sworn off technology and come out feeling better for it on the other side. Now that I've got a laptop it's becoming harder and harder to detach. Is campus wireless a good or bad thing? Time will tell ;). Good luck. I’ve had brief spans of time where I’ve sworn off technology and come out feeling better for it on the other side.

While away at Educause, I came to realize just how connected I can be and the associated pitfalls. So for the last couple of weeks I've made efforts to reduce the amount of time I spend 'at work' at home. That said - when you enjoy what you do, how do you really define work?

Well, I've lasted 1 already :-) It's not so much the Blog Widow that bothered me, but the Blog Orphan. I'm hoping to take the month to shake the obsessive-compulsive habit, and then rejoin in a more healthy way... But, yeah... I'm also assuming that my blogging will slow down a bit since I'll be doing it on the clock. Much of my blogging is work-related, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's essentially documenting my projects, which is a Good Thingâ„¢. Three days? ouch. Well, I’ve lasted 1 already :-)

Her bed is hard (and small) and she doesn't have wireless yet. Forces me to read while she does correcting. Which is good, since I started a blog series on Giller Guilt and the new award winner.
