She says something interesting: that being in a continuous partial attention state all the time is making us ill. I believe it. I started working out about a week ago for the first time. You&#8217;ll probably notice me doing less and less online as I try to bring my health up (and catch up on email).</p>
<p>In response I&#8217;m offline for the next few days. Maryam and I are going to Cabo to speak to <a href="http://www.counselorsacademy.org/">a PRSA meeting down there</a>. Be back on Wednesday. Looking forward to being offline.</p>
<p>As to Flickr, what&#8217;s up with <a href="http://www.tinynibbles.com/blogarchives/2007/06/flickr_considered_harmful.html">taking Violet Blue&#8217;s photos down</a>?</p>
<p>Want a distraction? Last night I had dinner with Loic Le Meur, who is moving to San Francisco from Paris with his family and <a href="http://www.loiclemeur.com/english/2007/06/446_robert_scob.html">he filmed a video interview of me</a>. I talk some smack back to Jason Calacanis. Hi Jason!</p>
<p>Anyway, have fun, see ya on Wednesday &#8212; if Akismet&#8217;s comment spam filter catches your comment, I probably won&#8217;t be able to approve it until then. I&#8217;ll be off cell phone too. Staying at the Westin.</p>
