It makes me a little sad that "off the grid" has come to mean: "without a cell phone".

When I first read your post, I thought to myself: "Hell no, I don't know how to deal with a septic tank, I can't sew my own cloths, I won't give up the internet."

But a phone? I misplace it all the time anyways. Facebook? Don't have one. Twitter? Don't want one.

Yet I still use RSS, I still hang out on IRC, I still read Hubski posts. I'm a technophile by any standard.
