It’s horrible. I’m deleting about 89% of the e-mail in my inbox unopened. Well, maybe that’s not so horrible. It’s not that I don’t want to get the e-mail exactly, it’s just that I don’t need to read it to know what it says. There’s a lot of job hunting related e-mail that I don’t need to read anymore that comes from recruiters– I suppose I could give them a courtesy e-mail reply but I usually don’t. There are notices from Second Life which are fun to get, but usually involve things that I can’t attend since they happen when I work. I still get things from some Bay Area yahoo groups which I should turn off, eventually, but this gives me the feeling of being in touch. Still, I don’t read them, just the Subject line is enough for me. There are the notices from all the invites I sent out on LinkdIn — no need to read those. The problem is, the few e-mails I do want to read are lost in this sea of e-mails I don’t want to read and it’s a little hard to pick them out all the time. I’m not sure if I need to call it quits with this one account or not and set up another one for just really personal e-mails, or have people send personal e-mail to my phone as a sort of walled garden, or what. If I set up a new gmail address, would I ever go back and read this one? I’ve given out tamouse at gmail to lots of places and i’ve given out tamara at tamaratemple to all the business contacts so those are pretty polluted name spaces now. Plus there’s the hassle of getting everyone to change addresses. Do I say “I’m only going to pay attention to e-mail on this address from now on?” Maybe so.
Comments and thoughts welcome, please.

I also uploaded it to the MIT public key server.
Time.com has a fascinating photo essay entitled “What the World Eats” where families from around the world lay out what they eat in an week and what it costs them. The variety is huge and amazing, of course. Quite a unique glimpse into the differences in culture throughout the world.
The Huffington post wire stories carry the story of some of Vermont’s citizens’ desire to cecede from the United States. Interesting stuff. They’re quite serious about it, too.
I’m taking a break from being online so much. It seems that all of my spare time is spent online and other things are suffering for it. I’ll be online some, but leave messages at my e-mail address (tamara at tamaratemple dot com) and I’ll read them as I get to them. Urgent needs, contact me by cell. Those who know it are the ones I want to know it; I’m not advertising it online.
Further contact information can be found on my wiki About Me page .
See you around the Internetz!
In a recent Post, Joss Whedon decries the fact that all through all cultures, women are placed in the down position from men, and wonders what’s up with that, anyway. Why is this still true? When will we evolve to something else, something equal, truly equal.
He raises a call, a shout-out for people to do something, anything to further the cause for equal rights for half the population on the planet. First and foremost, I think women have to start demanding it, and not falling into the role of victim, second class citizen, settling for less.
