I went and lived in a monastery for a little over a year. Then started something new. Couldn't stay away for long.

  Wow, where was that? Sounds like a fascinating experience. Did you cut off from tech altogether for that period?

    It was near Redding, CA. Unfortunately the monastery needed a website built for them so I spent quite a bit of time working online. I couldn't escape it. But building and maintaining a website for a few hundred users was much more relaxing then building and maintaining one for tens of millions.

        It is cool to still run into Playlist users even after all these years.
