I deactivated my FB account yesterday.  It felt so liberating–I gotta admit.  Like throwing a bunch of old file folders into the recyle bin. 

I was curious about FB because of all the initial invites, and after joining it I did make some cool connections with old friends, but ultimately I think it just was another huge (argueably voyeuristic) distraction for me.  And since I am an easily distracted person well it became a huge time-waster, too.

FB definitely put a crimp in my blogging, but didn't provide the same satisfaction of actually writing or posting something original.  So in order to streamline my life a little bit I pulled the plug on it. 

I guess if you want to contact me now you'll have to go to all the trouble of a.) commenting here, or b.) emailing me the old-fashioned way.  How antiquated.  Sorry if I "added you as a friend" recently and then just disappeared. I thought an explanation was in order.

If you think this was a strange move, it's important to remember that I'm the same guy who threw away my high school yearbooks.  Me choosing to abandon such a wildly popular online social networking tool was bound to happen eventually.

The yeti is in the cave…
