I am writing this while currently on a plane. Oh yes the joy of modern technology.<\/p>\n
Also I will likely save this as a draft and publish it later. If you have read my serious work, you know I proofread, but this is not the reason I am drafting this.<\/p>\n
It is because the connection is terrible. I am fondly remembering how I have waited 6 hours for a bus to leave when I was a Peace Corps volunteer. I have traveled the US by Greyhound long before mobile phones and YouTube.<\/p>\n
I am now in a scenario where my Kindle is out of reach, the streaming sucks, and I have no locally saved movies. Hmmm… this is surprisingly unusual.<\/p>\n
Do you know what I could do? I could go through all the crap files I have on my phone and delete things I don’t need.<\/p>\n
Seriously, I could. But I don’t want to. I am starting to think that I will never do this. Ever.<\/p>\n
I paid for some great de-duplication software a few years back, and I have trimmed a lot of cruft. But that’s only culling based off metadata, particularly filehash comparison. That’s not me looking at content saying “yes! That is a keeper!”<\/p>\n
What I am saying is I don’t care if I ever go through that. All that digital debris that is floating around? Let it float. I can’t fathom doing this.<\/p>\n
Next time I think of my hoarding of good intentions, this is what will come to my mind. If I am stuck on a plane without WiFi, and no entertainment, I must ask myself, will I do some particular activity? If the answer is anything but a yes, I have added yet another thing to the pile of good intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
