You're sounding a lot like me these days... At my office, I actually close my laptop when I have the drawing pens out. I never used to do that; but I'm getting more militant about protecting myself from the incessant buzz of the Always-On culture. Chris, Bravo! You’re sounding a lot like me these days…

The freedom of taking a long walk without people being able to find you wherever you go. Pretty soon our wildest dreams will become nothing more that the rest of our boring lives... Indeed as soon as you've got it, it's not worth it anymore. I wonder if there are still people who remember what is was like before we had all these gadgets.

For me, the BB has become much more of an intrusion than a productivity tool. I know plenty of people swear by their BB's and iphones. If that's what they need to get their job/life managed, so be it. I still have my Mac Book, etc, but I need SOME space/time when I am not wired in, and ignoring the BB when it chirps and buzzes isn't working. Plus, about $75/month savings! After that, I'm going shopping for "wings".
