I hate technology. I have no landline. I have no mobile phone (it's currently almost literally thrashing around in the throes of death). I'm nearly useless now.

I have seen few things as beautiful as a 6:30am lift-off from San Francisco International Airport in the autumn. From above, the rippled fog layer laps against the shores of the foothills like a voluminous cotton ocean.

Who has time to manually spam web sites? That can't be very cost effective.
