Drive your own day

Today is my day for sniffling and wheezing with a head cold, rather than taking the road trip I had planned to Kitchener for a needlework show. Instead, I dropped into a recent tech conference in California via YouTube for Tim O’Reilly’s talk while I knitted a sweater ordered recently from the net, based on a blogger’s recommendation. I need to remember what I did with my life before it was driven by the network, so I am going for a walk.

    Interesting observation about life before the Internet. Coincidentally, I have recently been having similar thoughts, thinking about life with less connectivity. You appear to have struck a very good balance, with activities such as knitting, hiking, and photographing. A couple of recently published books offer insights about the digital world in which we live. If you have not read them, you might find them interesting.
