Having computer problems this week reminded me of a couple of things, the biggest revelation of which is how much time I really spent using it — and I realized that I’d rather not spend the better part of my life attached to a keyboard. It also reminded me that there are so many other, really fun things to do. What it means for you is that I don’t have my normal huge collection of links this Sunday, since I lost all of the bookmarks I’d tagged for link love to my downed computer (that’ll teach me to use StumbleUpon and Delicious more often, right?) So here’s an abbreviated list. I promise next week’s wil be more substantial.

It’s amazing how attached I am to my computer sometimes. When I get home from work, I tried to leave my computer in my car so I won’t get tempted to open it and have my face glued to the screen. I remind myself that I have a family waiting for me and spending time with them is more important.
I really love your blog. Your featured stuff are so neat.
Have a great week.

@Caroline Thanks for passing the word along! I would hug you if I could
@Cathy As much as I love the internet and having technology and information right at my fingertips, it can be almost too tempting to stay online all day. But, having computer problems gave me a much-needed dose of perspective
