I hope you figured this out, since I haven’t updated for close to a year, but I thought I’d make it official.
It’s not that anything’s “wrong”–I just don’t feel like I have anything I need to broadcast to the internets. (Well, except for Twitter, but I’m kinda flaky on that score, too.) I don’t feel like writing rants and I have no desire to share intimate details of my life. And frankly, in the last year or so, I’ve started to dig this IRL thing more.
That said, I do miss the connections and conversations I used to maintain via blogging. I’m still online (way too much, of course), and you can easily reach me via email at tom at underscorebleach dot net. Please do drop me a line.
But now… it’s back to the real world for me!

If you visit my website regularly, you’ve noticed that the pickings here have been slim lately. I haven’t felt like writing. I haven’t had anything to say. And to tell you the truth, I find this malaise a bit disconcerting.
Less than a week ago, I returned from a two week trip; the first week was spent working in London, the second on holiday in Germany. You’d think I’d have something profound, insightful, or at least interesting to say about my trip. I really don’t. I can’t even summarize it well. What I can tell you is that traveling for two weeks by oneself makes for a lonely time.
