We have announced in the Huffington Post that in the wake of the nation’s first ever National Day of Unplugging, Reboot is launching the Sabbath Manifesto’s “Unplug Challenge.”:
“Once a month, an “A-lister” will be asked to unplug from cell phones and PDAs, power down computers and tune in to the world. After the 24-hour experiment is over, the A-lister will report on the experience right here in the Huffington Post.”
“The first A-lister to take the challenge is Time magazine columnist Joel Stein, who will record his experiences in his Time column Friday, April 2. In preparation for the “Unplug Challenge,” Stein has already pondered the complexities of turning off his GPS in the driving-centered city of LA, and whether he can listen to his stereo. He will be taking notes on the experience in a way he says he never has – with pen and paper!”
“Look for upcoming reports. In the next few months, we will throw the unplugging challenge to Josh Radnor, star of the CBS series How I Met Your Mother, and writer, director and star of the movie happythankyoumoreplease, winner of the Audience Award at Sundance 2010; and Davy Rothbart of Ann Arbor, Michigan, creator of Found Magazine, a frequent contributor to public radio’s This American Life, and a writer for GQ, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and High Times.”
