I totally understand the pain when technology dies, especially when you use it so much! Heck I watched my old computer literally melt and seeing the horror or years worth of work gone (still don't have enough to replace it but that's a different story). however on the flip side during my recent 3.5 week long walkabout when I was totally tech free, I can say that I have never felt so at peace and connected to the world! Maybe this is the universe telling you you need a break (but only if you really need one, because I need my weekly fix of your blog hehe). I hope it works itself out @lukestokes
