I’m offline.

I’m not blogging. I’m not reading blogs. I’m not IMing. I’m not checking my newsreader.

I’m not tagging. I don’t have a cell-phone.

My business voice-mail and e-mail are being monitored, but I’m not initiating any voice or e- conversations.

I don’t know what Google or Apple or Facebook are announcing.

I don’t know what Scott Karp or Dave Winer or Steve Rubel or anyone who shows up on Techmeme or Nashville is Talking is saying.

I don’t know what is popular on del.icio.us or YouTube or /. or etc., etc., etc.

I don’t know who is friending me or poking me or reading me or “@-ing” me or adding to my groups.

If I don’t go stark-raving-mad or enter some higher state of enlightened bliss, I’ll be back here on Monday, June 4.

In an article posted today, MIT’s TechnologyReview.com picked up one of the more profound insights I’ve made on this weblog, an observation about Justin.TV: “If it were more videogame-like and we could program Justin to run into walls and walk out into traffic, perhaps it would be more entertaining.”

  In my post about the show, I didn’t include spoilers, but Steven has. Everything I was alluding to, he explicitly observes. I couldn’t agree with him more.
