Ditching the Internet for a year sounds pretty inspiring ... but I don't think I'm capable.

For all the naysayers out there, as a web developer, the only time I actually get any development done IS when I ditch the Internet (I just do it for short periods of time).

If you have a good testing environment (which you should), development can easily be done 100% offline. With planning and fore-site, you can deliver a better product without ever touching the Internet.

@Bella,

Running water can stay.

It's just something I want to do. Like I said, I don't have all the kinks out, (read: don't know if it's financially feasible), but I'm betting I can take care of the important stuff via email twice a week and still work offline to produce work using only the finest ingredients.

I guess the question is then, why would you WANT to ditch the internet for a year? Like Phil, I am concerned about how you will make your living for this year. Are you going to go live up in the mountains without running water during this year, too?

Phil,

Ditching the internet for an entire year is not the author's idea. It's mine. :)

"In one year the internet will be an entirely different planet!"

Wrong. I didn't access the internet for an entire 2 years from 99-01. Didn't miss a step so 1 year should be a sinch.

I’m reading it now. I heard the author speak at the Web 2.0 expo. It was great.

Ditch the internet for a year? Are you kidding me? I don’t care who this author is or what the book says – how are you going to make a living building web sites if you ditch the internet for a year? For one thing, if you ditch RSS feeds and the net for a year, you’ll basically be a noob when you come back. In one year the internet will be an entirely different planet!

Now I’m going to have to go pick up this book just to review the lunacy of ditching the net for a year. Other than that part, the rest of it sounds basically how I live already.

Thanks for the review. Someone just lent me this book and I am pretty excited to get started reading it especially after hearing what others have had to say about it.
