ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Almost back

Posted: Thursday, August 28, 2008 12:29 AM by Will Femia

I'm half way through my annual trip to the New Jersey shore to perform the ritual burning of the tops of my feet and center part of my back that I can't reach. As per tradition, Internet connectivity is not as abundant as I expected (that expectation having been based on nothing but forgetfulness of the last time I over-expected connectivity at the beach) and so it's the familiar realization that my vacation is not going to be super-productive-get-things-done time that prompts me to finally post here and report: I'm almost back.

Why do all you computer people expect vacation to be super-productive-get-things-done time? Why can't it just be vacation? Enjoy your lack of connectivity, my friend. All the wires will still be jere when you get back.

Seriously ... have some fun, dude. We  miss you, but we abide.

Dude.  It's a vacation.  No sweat, we can wait.  Seriously, there's nothing worse than a "vacation" where you still have work to do.  Defeats the whole purpose.  Enjoy yourself, we'll still be here when you get back.
