Sans the textual life!

By: Jacroe July 1, 2009

I want a social experiment. Are you ready?

For a while, I've wanted to do something like that of the vlogbrothers and go without textual conversation for a period of time. They went for a year. I'm hoping to go for a month. I don't think it will affect me1 that much. After all there's a big gap between my last post and this one (almost a month).

So how am I going to give up textual communication? And what will I do instead? Well I'm going to tell you. Just let me get my notebook out.

So why am I doing this? Well for starters, I just want to see if I can do it. Another reason is that I wanna test the "social" part of social networking. And the last reason: why not?

The one exception to the no text is Identi.ca dents. And that will only be used to alert followers of new content. Hopefully this will become automated using other online services and I won't even have to that.

If you need to contact me, you can send me a link to a video with your question or you can call me. There's a phone number on the Contact me page. Until August 1st, I'll talk to you later! :D

Oh and I guess you'll need the link to the site, huh? ;) http://mylife.jacroe.com
