I wish he was still blogging. And yes, that’s my comment (on his site) from a past life, before I went underground.

That’s a scary post to end a blog on.

I agree, Marissa. Basically, he’s waffling by saying, “I’m not gonna do it, but here’s how if I did.” And yeah, it is a scary post to end a blog, but to be fair there were only a few posts on there anyway. Millions of neglected blogs are out there just growing weeds. It would be interesting to know what happened, though.

Yeah, I’d like to know that he’s OK, you know?
