Combination of waking up at a house party with a hangover and going out in the evening. Who says techies can't have fun? :D Oh, and as a side note, if I turned off my mobile phone, my life would come crashing down. It's my main organisational tool - wouldn't be in the pub nearly as much without it. I did this yesterday… well, up to 11:30pm, so I was close.

I am a systems engineer. I have to travel far to get away from my computers and work. The last time I went a day with no computer was on my honeymoon.

If your work/life balance is screwed up, it's not because you have a computer. I can think of plenty relaxing, enjoyable things I do in front of my computer. And plenty of ways I could screw up my work/life balance without one. This is another silly “Blame the Technology’ gimmicks.

This ranks right up there with "Gas Boycott Day." Retard, useless and ultimately futile. You want to improve your life? Shut down a little every day. Shut Down Day?

Laptop, iPhone, my automobiles ecu? How about all the servers I run for my clients? Don't get me wrong its a good cause, and I take it to mean laptop/desktop. But my iPhone will still have me checking email, taking calls, so have I really stepped away? If you truly want to make it interesting. Go over to your panel box in your house, and cut power for 24hrs. :) Define computer. Laptop, iPhone, my automobiles ecu? How about all the servers I run for my clients?

Or are they? Ten years ago, pagers were the rage, now it's cellphones and it seems like everyone has one. I often catch myself asking my wife "what did we ever do without cellphones?" They've made life safer and easier. So, I couldn't live without my cellphone for a day. My computer - it would be very tough, but I'll give it a shot on 05/03/08.

I find Sundays are the only day I can take a day off. It took a bit of getting used but now it's feels good to not worry about email, IM & skype for one day.
