"Can someone please tell me what this is? A plastic ice cream scoop?" (Armageddon)

Been away for a week on a staff retreat in Easter Washington. We were literally unplugged from internet and cell phone coverage. It was awesome. It was almost like technology didn't exist. Even the DVD player overheated and would pause during the movies.

Nearly all of us were unable to blog, read blogs, check email, or do some txting. I didn't suffer any withdrawals, or even think about researching something on the Internet (that's when my MFUI comes into play).

This type of retreat was awesome because everyone had to interact with each other. We couldn't retreat to our offices for "checking email" and avoiding people. Not that this happens, but sometimes it is easier to hide behind a keyboard instead of personally interacting with the same people we email or text.
