The Great Book Giveaway of 2012:At Least 1000 Books Must Go In August, my wife and I are leaving Ann Arbor, moving 450 miles to Marquette, in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. In preparation for that move, I've been making the difficult decisions about what books to take, and which to leave behind—because the last time we tried to estimate, I had about 3000 books, stuffed into a two-bedroom condo. We've lived in this condo for five years, and the book selection has probably swelled at least twice over to reach its current size: My bookshelves are stacked and double-stacked, there are literary magazines everywhere, and nearly every day new magazines and books come in the mail.

In one sense, the latter isn't ailing at all; while books have certainly gone and will continue to go digital, there have been few serious ... Continue reading →
At midnight tonight I will leave the internet. I'm abandoning one of my "top 5" technological innovations of all time for a little peace and quiet. If I can survive the separation, I'm going to do this for a year. Yeah, I'm serious. I'm not leaving The Verge, and I'm not becoming a hermit, I just won't use the internet in my personal or work life, and won't ask anyone to use it for me. Depending on your perspective, you might be completely shocked that I'd even attempt such a thing, or you might be completely unimpressed. For me personally, the decision felt like a big, crazy idea at first, and now it's started to seem a perfectly natural evolution of my life with technology. ... Continue reading →
