A Luddite’s Confession: I’d Rather Take a Hike

My good friend and colleague Vinnie Mirchandani asked me yesterday in the middle of twenty project deadlines if I would write a guest post on how technology has impacted my hobbies. As I pondered the request, and looked at one of the other guest posts, I realized that, however high-tech my work day is, my leisure time is decidedly low-tech. Almost embarassingly so. While this may not be the place to confess that I’m not all bytes and gadgets, I offer this post up as an insight into why I sometimes eschew the latest in trendoid technology in favor of something more practical. Useful. Meaningful. Accepted. Comfortable. You get my meaning.
