I haven’t blogged in a while (since my daughter was born) but today is just too funny: both Twitter and Facebook are down. All of a sudden I feel the Internet is slightly less helpful and fun. I needed to send a message to someone on Facebook (a message that actually mattered) and my cognitive queue of tweets is rapidly building. The only place left to turn to when I need to express myself online is my personal, self-hosted blog at KataDrew.com. Let’s just hope my host doesn’t go down, too.

Well, in lieu of social networking, may today be the day we pursue real live interpersonal relationships instead of social networking-driven relationships. My cellphone still works. I can still kiss my wife and the Bible’s just as thrilling as ever. I’ll just have to un-tick the “Notify Twitter about this post?” when I hit publish. Real people are still out there!
