It's been an interesting weekend.  And I've come to a decision.  Nothing momentous, yet.  But a decision nonetheless.<BR><BR>
I'm going off the internet tomorrow.<BR><BR>
Just for a 24 hour test drive.  Wake up, no net, go to sleep, no net.  Nothing.  Except research for work, and that I've made sure that I've got none of tomorrow that requires an online presence.<BR><BR>
I will return Tuesday, I assure you.  After all, what's a <a href="blog/"
class="bodytext">blog</a> without updates?  Not checking my email is the sort of thing that drives me up a goddamned tree.<BR><BR>
So, if you need something from me, call.  If you don't have my number, email and I'll get it Tuesday.<BR><BR>
A few administrative bits before I go.<BR><BR>
The <a href="blog/" class="bodytext">blog</a> continues.  I relegated it to
background for two reasons - first off, I went back to this format.  But
second, blogs are a bitch to load.  They scroll down the page interminably,
choking my poor browser.  While I love to read doctorgrosz, saranwarp and
1atom12, I find myself doing it far less these days, since they take so long
to load.  Anyway, that's my .02 cents.<BR><BR> 
Someone emailed me that they wanted to play me in chess, and I've managed to fumble that ball.  Please resend.  If you do wish to play me in chess and haven't contacted me yet, please email me <a href="javascript:contact()" target="_blank"
class="bodytext">here</a>.<BR><BR>
This isn't a hiatus, don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow.  This is something totally different.  This is "turn off your computer day."<BR><BR>
Other administrative trivia - if you want in on the Magnificent 50, tell me.  Or if you want to pose with the sign, email me.  Or if you want to send me a fan sign, do so.<BR><BR>
Much like a fund drive without any money, I'm running a subscription drive.  If you're not a subscriber yet, don't forget to <a href="javascript:subscribe()" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true" onMouseOver="window.status='Subscribe to Updates';return true" class="bodytext">subscribe</a> and if you are, then <a
href="javascript:recommend()" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true"
onMouseOver="window.status='Tell a Friend';return true" class="bodytext">tell your friends to do it.</a><br><br>
Oh, and there's fresh weekend content from <a href="072701.php3" class="bodytext">Friday</a> and <a href="072801.php3" class="bodytext">Saturday</a>.  Saturday was pretty amazing, you oughtta check it out, I danced for like, 10 hours.<BR><BR>
<B>What's the most drastic thing you've ever done to refocus your life?</b>
