Riding the Waves to Eternity: Hangin’ with the Cosmic Surfer

Tweet not, little Burdy

I logged out of my Twitter account on New Year’s Eve and so far have not logged in again, except to check a couple of notifications. I haven’t felt any sense of loss or any overwhelming need to see what I’m missing.

This isn’t the first time I’ve done this, although it is the first voluntary occasion: when we were in China in February 2013 I couldn’t access either Twitter or Facebook, and it was the latter’s absence I most felt. I don’t plan to delete my Twitter account–it has its uses–but I want to get out of the habit of checking it all the time.
