I spent a week isolated from the news, with limited Internet and almost no access to BIO. All that “relaxation” time gives you ample opportunity to think. Here are a smattering of things I came up with. 1.

Six years ago, I opened up this sundialgirl account just to see how my journaling habits would fare online.

If you calculate it, I've been writing journals for the past 16 years. That's roughly how old my sister Bea is. I guess we write for different reasons.

Nick Carr and Scott Karp: Is The Web Making Us Stupid? by Stowe Boyd, Reston VA Nick Carr suggests in his recent Atlantic Monthly article, Is Google Making Us Stupid?, that the way we use the Web is changing the way we operate, which he is mistakenly characterizing as becoming stupid: I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t "Free" Stuff!
Rob Horning opines: As behavioral economists (most vociferously, Dan Ariely) have pointed out, we find the promise of free things hard to resist (even when a little thinking reveals that the free-ness is illusory). So when with very little effort we can accumulate massive amounts of “free” stuff from various places on the internet, we can easily end up with 46 days (and counting) worth of unplayed music on a hard drive. We end up with a permanent 1,000+ unread posts in our RSS reader, and a lin"Free" Stuff!

Though some argued that AT&T overpaid to use Apple’s phone, the new $199 price point should help AT&T further solidify its lead in the market and make inroads into the b-to-b arena. The situation wasn’t as clear last year when AT&T and Apple announced the dSpore: EA mag keine Tittenmonster
