THE RULES OF CAMP GROUNDED WERE SIMPLE: NO PHONES, COMPUTERS, TABLETS OR WATCHES; WORK TALK, DISCUSSION OF PEOPLE’S AGES AND USE OF REAL NAMES WERE PROHIBITED:  Also "meals were vegan and gluten-free variations on summer camp staples," all of which sounds like hell to me but that's kinda the point when you sign up for Camp Grounded, an adults-only weekend camp in Northern California organized by a group "dedicated to teaching technology-addled (or technology-addicted) people to, in the words of its literature, 'disconnect to reconnect.'" [The Laird Bell Quadrangle alumni among us will find a familiar name in the piece.]

    Sounds neat, except for the food.

  5. I agree. Why does getting cured of technology addiction require no meat?

    It's like civil war reenactment camp only vegan/gluten free.
