For vari­ous reas­ons: some in my con­trol, and many out of my con­trol: I just decided to stop twit­ter­ing for a week. Turned off any inter­rup­tion based ser­vice: Live Mes­sen­ger, Office Com­mu­nic­ator 2007. Even restrict­ing the out­go­ing emails.

A couple of days sick where I vir­tu­ally dis­con­nec­ted. Then I went to Adelaide to visit the fam­ily. Fri­day and Monday I took as vaca­tion and pur­posely left the phone on silent, and laptop in Sydney.

The hive mind still bubbled along. Emails went back and forth. People reached out to ensure I was OK. The world moved on.

It has only been the last hour or so that I’ve jumped back onto twitter.

I missed every­one. The friends, the col­lect­ive thoughts. I didn’t die, but it’s good to be back. Virtually.

After the cur­rent MIX on Cam­pus tour, the rest of 2007 will be spent absorb­ing learn­ing. Skill up, not dumb down.

Let’s go!
