That's one of the things Shabbat Across America hoped to promote with their new site: ShabbatAcrossAmerica20.com. That's 20 as in 2.0, which you like so much. :) Amazing how people are coming around to a tech/consumption sabbatical every once in a while.

The fact that I know that every Saturday, all day, I can't even touch it and I am completely MIA from the rest of the world is amazing. However, had Shutdown day been on a Tuesday, I don't think it would be as easy. We are used to Saturdays being the chilled out quiet day, but if it was to be in the middle of the week, yea we would be able to deal with it, but it would undoubtedly be much harder.
