SXSWi 2008: Post Convention Rehab

March 17th, 2008 by andyhunter

shout_029l.jpgFor all that attended SXSW, perhaps it’s time to check yourself into a clinic. Or to call your producer friend in LA to get on the next Dr. Drew Celebrity Rehab, The Technorati edition. Not sure? Remember… denial is first stage of addiction and acceptance is the path to recovery. Spend a moment with engadget, and reflect a bit.

Are you a twitterholic, blackberry junkie, an email addict?:

Considering the plethora of facilities that have opened just in the past few years to deal solely with individuals that have become undoubtedly addicted to video games, the internet and all things Hello Kitty (we jest, we jest), we’re not surprised one iota to hear that uncontrollably texting / e-mailing could soon become “classified as an official brain illness.” <more>

If you regularly check out this site, it’s time to check in. I’ll be well down the path to recovery by then, setting up shop at Dell to be a sponsor and well-paid counselor.  Able to share my story of hitting rock bottom by stumbling into the engadget story via a Gmail headline, while trying to clean out my 1200 strong email box.
