To launch my ninth year on tumblr, I’ve decided to shut the whole thing down for a week and go to California. And this will be an internet-free vacation. The only discernible technology I’m packing will be my camera, my electric toothbrush, and my vintage flip phone. That’s right, none of that fancy smarty phone tech for me. My phone is a dull and stupid phone.
So here’s an advance postcard from La Jolla. Wish you were here. See you next week!
