Shut it down!

Less than 7 hours to go until Shutdown Day.

Over at Shutdownday.org, some 55,000 people, as of this writing, have taken the pledge to turn their computer off at midnight and leave it off for 24 hours. About 9,000 damned souls have confessed that they cannot stay off the computer for a single Saturday.

I'm taking the pledge.
