loggedoff.org

First off, a little background on the domain name. Our family likes to listen to all sorts of music. With four kids under the age of 9, we often have opportunities to listen to a wide range of children’s music. One of our favorites is Tom Chapin. He has a lot or music that the kids really enjoy. A few years back we bought one of his albums for adults — Common Ground.

There are some great songs, but one stood out to us as we were driving back one summer from a family vacation. It is called My Electronic Vacation. I haven’t been able to find it online, so just order the whole CD from his site. It is worth it. Anyway, the song makes fun of those of us who start to twitch when our Treo’s can’t get signal to download our email. The loggedoff.org comes from the epitaph of our tombstones, as we lie dead — unable to check our email.

As for what I will be writing about on this blog; well, I am not quite sure yet, but Dashboard Widgets, small business software, HOWTO’s for things I couldn’t already find written up, Mac-based media centers, and someday maybe some suggestions for how to get logged off and back to real life.
