Digital Lent
So, the Lent season started this week, and I’ve been debating whether or not to give something up. After talking about it in church today, though, the discussion came up about Lent being about giving up distractions, rather than just sacrificing something, to give us more time to just be.
In that spirit, I decided to get behind Lent a bit. Here’s what I’m giving up until Easter:
1. Online TV. Completely. No Hulu, no Fancast, no Netflix streaming - nothing.
2. New Web apps. I’m going to use what I’ve got, get great at them, and ignore new and shiny ones. Except when I’m reviewing them…
3. StumbleUpon. I’ll read what’s interesting to me, but I won’t go hunting for it with SU.
(I wish Twitter were on this list, but thanks to my line of work being what it is, that’s next to impossible).
I’m putting this out there so you’ll hold it to me. Wish me luck!
