Your link just took me to the Verge's home page. If anyone is interested in this, here is the link to the "story.": http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/29/4282088/special-vergecast-...

There are times when I would like to take a year off. I would be interested to hear how and if it affected him.

I took a few months off and it really did not affect me all that much. Actual face time and phone calls replaced IM and email. Web surfing time became reading time. The biggest drawback of not being online is the ease of retrieving information.

thank you, i used the 'share' button from the verge's website to get the link and apparently it doesn't work well.
