Unplug, it’s good for you. Posted in Digital Strategy, Concocted by Fred Roed,
Published on 12 September 2008

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of my evenings cooking meat on the grid outside*. I think it’s a reaction to too many emails, far too many conversations and spending wayyy too much time online.

After reading Dave’s recent article and chatting to a couple of fellow world wired folk, I know that I’m not the only one. Heck, I’m writing this at 11pm. I reckon that we’re all starting to realise that, sometimes, it’s good to ‘unplug’.

So then, it’s a timeous thing that I see this video (via Paul Isakson’s blog). Great stuff – just the tonic to spur me towards my week-long holiday in 2 weeks time.

Whether I’ll unplug completely? Mmm, I’ll let you know later…

The video even has its own microsite, check it out here.
