For many months, my position has been: email me and instant message me all you want, but please, whatever you do, don’t make me sign into Facebook. It’s just too much of a drag.

I completely share Khoi’s attitude here. There’s a couple of social networks that I’m completely addicted to; Flickr and Twitter, but apart from that they seem like something for the younger more social set. Hence the name I suppose. However as a professional in the field I find that I need to keep up with this stuff. Khoi goes on:

I admit that’s a bad attitude. Actually, it’s an irresponsible attitude for someone who purports to be a forward-looking designer. It’s a disservice to my colleagues and my employer, to begin with, as it basically amounts to sleeping on the job.

Read the whole thing. He’s as good a writer as he is a designer.
