Showing Promise for Project 2

I talked to Lynn Lewis today about helping her edit her book. She said someone else already has it, but she probably has something else that I can look at. She said it'll probably be more than 25 pages (the max outlined in the assignment sheet), but that'll be all right. So that's taken care of.

I challenged my Comp 2 students to go without an important technology for one week, and to go a full 24 hours without any technology, and I plan to do it with them. Starting tomorrow I will not use Facebook or my iPhone, and next saturday my family and I will go without technology as much as possible, no computer, no lights, I'll take a cold shower, and I'm going to either eat raw foods or figure out a way to cook it without electricity. (One of the main points of the experiment is to discover the astonishing ubiquity of technology, and so I know going without technology is impossible.) So I am looking forward to that.

Oh yeah, and this is going to be extra hard because I am just really starting to get into the habit of recording my thoughts in Evernote on my phone. I'm going to have to carry around a notebook and then retype my notes into Evernote. I am kind of afraid that I'll get out of a notetaking habit, but we'll see.
