where have i been?

hi everyone -- well, since my last posting in july i have moved to another country and started writing my own book -- a technical one about business blogs. of course i haven't stopped reading, but i did stop posting to unfavorable pink. things are calming down a little now (75% of my book will be done on monday) and i expect to begin posting regularly again soon. thanks for your patience in the meantime. bad blog form, i know, but it couldn't be helped!
