Moratorium on Clicking

One shouldn’t have Internet access late at night, when it’s too easy to accidentally click a few buttons and purchase a whole bunch of things one doesn’t particularly need. Like soap handmade from alfalfa leaves and cinnamon. Or “electroacoustic” music from some kid in New York. Or a book called “Letterpress: New Applications for Traditional Skills.”

And that was just tonight. You could take away my plastic, but I have the number memorized.

(Have you explored Etsy.com, though? I spend hours looking at paper products, clothes, jewelry, art, etc. — all handmade by little people like you and me.)

Since you seem to have no problem finding me on other sites, I toss down a new gauntlet: see if you can find the crafty little items I made on Etsy. And feel free to buy if you like. I need the cash. One week: go.

I don't allow myself to go to Etsy. I've browsed a couple times in the past, and decided I could never visit again for fear that my credit card might be too close at hand. Don't drag us all down with you!
