This Saturday, March 24th, is Shutdown Day!
Join me and more than 51,000 other people worldwide (as of March 21st, though the numbers continue to swell as I type this) in keeping our computers off for an entire 24-hour period.
I'm really looking forward to it; I cannot remember the last time I actually did not use my computer for such a stretch. I feel like an important, neglected part of my brain is going to be reset somehow by cutting the cord from my Mac that day.
For more information and musings about the day, go here:
• Shutdown Day site
• "7 Things to Prepare for Shutdown Day" at The Creativity Club
• "Can you turn it off?" — I wrote this post on PSFK re: Shutdown Day
Some have been inspired enough by the day to create videos about alternative activities for the day. Here's one:
Well, I have signed up to shut down for a day. I can actually feel the withdrawal coming already!
Great video.

Alright, Kimberley & Waspgoddess — Let's be strong...we can do it! ;)
I can't wait to hear about what everyone actually winds up doing on their special Saturday.
