My husband will say, when he has geeked out too much and spent too much time in front of his laptop, that he needs “wetwear” [he prefers "wetware"] — real live people; frequently our kids will fill the bill. This started when they were infants and wet in more ways than one, usually. I’m beginning to feel that I need a more major dose of wetwear daily. As I spend more and more time tending to business online, keeping up with Social Networks and Twitter and all the rest, and checking my crackberry through out the day and night. It wears! Have you found Beach Walks with Rox yet? It’s a daily vcast offering “a little bit of Aloha daily”. Very soothing. But as low key as she seems, she is totally plugged in to all that is Web 2.0 and is very smart cookie. She has a great post on keeping your personality, and even having more if it. I’m all for that especially in the business setting. As I get older, I have less and less patience with performing to some standard other than my own at that moment. Age does have it’s benefits. |
