Last week was our Spring Break so I took basically the whole week off. I even believe I set a record for time away from my laptop. That’s right, I didn’t even pack it. No laptop. For pretty much a week. And no one got hurt. Well except my mom, but she tends to do [...]

Well this sucks. According to the guys at Techcrunch, Yahoo is shutting down my social bookmarking tool Delicious. I wrote a blog post about how much I liked Delicious a while back – and I still love the idea of having my bookmarks online and better organized. Now, I am looking into alternatives.
