Are you ready for Shutdown Day?

Just as a quick reminder, tomorrow is Shutdown Day. For those who are not aware Shutdown Day, It’s a self experiment to see if you can cope up without using computers for a day. With over 54203 participating in the event, I guess it’s going to be huge success.

Just in case you have made up your mind to participate, but haven’t register your wish with Shutdownday.org, you can do it now. Still 1 hour, 52 minutes to go.

For regular readers: I’ll be participating, so there won’t be any posts tomorrow. I’ll try to quickly draft a post and schedule it. Who else would be participating?

    Certainly one can count me out. Living without it is another thing, but I have no idea if something important may come up tomorrow. So, I’ve decided not to commit myself ;)

    Wow.. Good to see different reactions from fellow bloggers. I’ve scheduled a post, I’m turning off now!

    BTW Rishi, Cellphones are computers (If you’ve got a high end phone). My N72 is out for servicing, I’m a HP IPAQ. Can I call IPAQ as a phone or should i turn it off?

  • http://www.rishiraj.info/ Rishi

    Shutdown! I guess iPaq is computer on a part but I don’t think my cellphone can be said as a high end phone so I’m ON! :P

    Anyways, which smilies are you using? they are cool!
