“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day. To the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty blogs.” 

Even Shakespeare thinks we all need a vacation.

So, here’s my proposal: We all take the first two weeks of August off. All of us. Yes, you. You just remove your keys from the keyboard and find something else to do with your time.

Saturday, August 2 through Sunday August 17. “Through” means you don’t start blogging again until Monday the 18th.

All in favor, swing your hammock to the left…

Brian Dear has a suggestion:

Dave Weinberger suggests all bloggers take the first two weeks of August off in a mass “blogiday”. He’s even got the logo you’re supposed to attach to your blog during that time, to let everyone know you’re taking off time when Dave is taking off time.
I say, keep on bloggin’! If the blogerati want to take off two weeks in August, fine. It’s a great opportunity for other blogs to get some attention.
A suggestion to vacationing bloggers: rather than just showing a blogiday logo, how about providing some prominent links to a lesser-known blogs, ones they like but for whatever reason ones they haven’t put in their blogroll. A sort of “while I’m away, I recommend the following fine blogs” followed by a list. Share your discoveries!

BTW, my RW vacation will be the last week of July and the first week of August, so it’s not quite me suggesting everyone stop when I stop. Besides, do you really think I’m going to stop for 2 weeks?
