Well, I've been through rolling blackouts, and gone a week without power before.
A week, in the middle of a record-setting heat wave.
I think I could stand a day with my computer, since I do on a regular basis...

Can you live without your computer for a day? They are shutting down the internets. http://shutdownday.org/
That was for the people who don't read past the first line and kneejerk post.
It's really just a participatory thing. I think one day is cake though. I'd say that they should try for two or more days or have it so that you dont use any electricity for a day (except for your fridge and whatever else I dont think of). Now that would be a challenge for me.
It's on a Saturday. I can do that. If it were on a weekday, I think I'd die.
And that's scary.
Jesus. Time to sell all my possessions and move to the bush.

Yeah, I'd just spend the day playing GalCiv II and watching pr0n.
Edit: wait, shut down the computer? Not doing the 'net for a day, okay - but no 'puter? Egad, they've gone mad!
Why would I want to? I can't play Starcraft outside, after all.
Although I guess I could just play Playstation instead.

Oh, I can, but most of them are summer activities and that doesn't help too much when it's cold out or rainy. Now, I could read or something like that, maybe play a board game like Risk. That would be pretty fun.
Awesome. No traffic on March 27th. Playing WoW for 24 hours lag free.

This is a good time to use "OH EXPLOITABLE". Maybe the campus ethernet will work really well that day...
