Brent Sampson unplugged

I’ve been on the Internet since the fall of 1991. This was before webpages, when chat rooms were calls “MUDs” and Yahoo Groups were called “Usenet.” I don’t think I’ve gone a week since without “logging-in” at least once.  That’s over two decades of constant online activity.  I could use a break. Some would even argue I NEEDED a break.  So this spring when our son had a two-week break (thank you, Douglas County School District), I decided to “unplug.”   Going cold turkey was difficult. But, going to a foreign country helped when the “shakes” got too bad.

Now, I’m back, but the break was great. It helped me see that the structure and people we’ve put into place at Outskirts Press operate just fine without me. That’s great to see.  Come to think of it, I just may unplug more frequently now…
