Wee Willie Wifi

There is an immense joy, I have found, from becoming wireless. I am writing this on my porch of my apartment outside in my city as the temperature hovers at a breezy 70 degrees. This past weekend, I decided that the solution to my "place" problem (having to create electronically in the same spot every day, a spot that has gets no direct sunlight, and in the spot in which I also do web development) was to do away with place entirely. Hello Toshiba. I've never had a laptop before that was usuable in any fashion, so this is a complete novelty to me. In over 20 years of computer work, I've always been chained to a single environment. And now, as the wind blows and the night birds warm up, as spiders spin webbing around the railings in front of me, I write. It's heaven.

Un-attached.

Hawaii comes Friday and with it, phase 2 of my rebirth and a farewell forever to the last days of intentional ignorance, the summer days of lazy indulgence, pretending on a path that demands awareness. I'll be back with a walkabout around the end of July and then with much more in August. Be well.
