I've been missing Scates' posts around here.

He's a man of many entertaining opinions.

Anybody heard from him lately? Did I miss something?

Tonight I did a search on here to see when he last posted and it coincides with the beginning of Lent.

So, it is my guess that he's either

a) experienced a big life event or
b) he is observing Lent by giving up AN, or
c) went in with Brad on a Lotto ticket and is married to that actress from Law & Order.

Last I heard, he was waiting in line for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

So if Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) predates Lent...

Where the Pahrrrrrtaay (binge/boobs/beads/beer) predates the supposed sorrowful religious reflection giving-up-the-habits

Can we come up with a similarly ethnographic/tech/festive meme for the ceremonial 'giving up AN'...

Does it involve Carol flashing her mousepads at us?
Or do we all have to route through VPNs in New Orleans first, or something...

Or did we miss some clues to a geeky Chattanooga blowout from which a recovery is still in progress?

Christy Turlington Burns had the Apple Watch for a half marathon at Kilimanjaro...
maybe Pscates had the Apple Watch for a trivia pub crawl... and he's still crawling somewhere

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

I forgot to mention that his twitter feed is empty now, so maybe he took it private... not sure.

The twitter for @pscates is not the pscates from here. He used to tweet a lot. I guess he decided to delete the account and someone else grabbed it up?

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.

If you google for it you can see that the Twitter handle used to be operated by "our" Pscates. How could somebody just take over that handle?

Guys, all is well (Drew, I emailed your blog earlier). Just taking a break from tech/all things "i". Kinda burned out, bored with it all, frankly.

All is cool. Just enjoying/pursuing different stuff these days. No mystery.

Dammit.

Thanks a bunch, Paul.

This torpedoed my horror script about us all disappearing one by one until Murbot was the last man standing.

Glad you're well.

Good for you, man. "Do new stuff" is the way to keep life interesting. I've had periods where I check out for a while. It's healthy.

Missing scates' would-be comments on the new MacBook and Watch. Times change, I suppose. Of course, as he left I came back...so...

Don't do that! us old people can't handle the stress, next time you go walkabout (close the door there's a terrible draught in here)

Tell someone.

Seriously glad you're ok, and come back soon.

I used to be undecided.....But now I'm not so sure.

I figured that it was something like that. 'Scates recent 'blah' with tech was explained in some of his posts.
