SO THANKS TO ALL THE GUESTBLOGGERS, WHO DID A GREAT JOB. Meanwhile, I was scuba diving again — with my friend Nat Robb’s dive operation — and taking some Internet-free time to clear my brain. I love the Internet, but time away from it can be therapeutic. . . .

I also read Charles Stross’s new book — not out yet — Rule 34. It’s like the perfect InstaPundit novel — there’s a burst higher-education bubble, talk of the Singularity and artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and even home-based fab/maker technology. What’s not to like?

I’ll be ramping up back to normal as the day goes on. I’m tanned, rested, and ready!
