You may have noticed that mathcaddy.com has been running a little “light” for the last couple of months.

This was, in fact, intentional.

By about the middle of June, I was starting to feel sick of feeling “expected” to write something on a regular basis. I don’t think anyone was actually expecting me to post regularly, but I sometimes felt like I should be posting regularly. I can’t explain it. It was like this nagging thought, like “Why haven’t I emptied the garbage in two weeks?” Or “If I haven’t fed the dog for a month, what’s the chance it survived?” Or “I haven’t seen my wife for a few days. I wonder if she’s alright.”

You know. Those sorts of nagging thoughts.

With the exception of a mid-summer Mathcaddy Radio session, I haven’t touched the site in almost three months.

Well, that’s not quite true. I did have to start de-spamming the comments on a constant basis as MTBlacklist broke. (It’s still broken and at this point I’m getting very angry and or desperate.) Not. Amusing. At. All.

But what is amusing is that people may have completely stopped checking for updates on this site over a month ago. There is actually a good chance that no one will ever read this post. Except spammers. Hi, Online Poker! Howdy, Ultimate Video On Demand Solutions!

But the summer proved to provide consistently interesting writing from everybody’s favorite part-time geek, lo-fi sketch artist, the Romeo of the DMV, Mr. 30-second shaving cross-country trackstar, the frosting connoisseur, himself, Steve! Well, I guess all those adjectives sort of make him everybody’s favorite by default. But he’s great nonetheless.

By the way, Steve has some great shirts for sale. One of his wonderful shirts insists that The Portal to Hell is the letter “Q”, but he’s totally innapropriate in making that statement and theologically incorrect. It’s actually the letter “C”. Pretty sneaky, huh? There it was all along, hiding under the “F” and the “D” on your qwerty, directly above the space bar.

So, uh, Adam… what did you do on your summer vacation?

Oh! I’m glad you asked.
