Catch Up
February 5, 2007

So we had a family medical emergency on the first of the year. We think everybody's okay. We've been ruling the bad stuff out, and we're almost done looking. But it's resulted in some additional challenges and lifestyle adjustments for the first half of 2007, including what time I can spare for non-"essential" online tasks like reading and writing blogs. And obviously I haven't been able to revamp my site, or write much new content for visitors coming from Asimov's, etc.

I've taught myself to respond to crap by pushing myself harder. In some ways I've been succeeding at this, but between meeting personal deadlines and needing to scramble to replace the suddenly-defunct Bitpass payment service for Telltale in January, I realize I need to pull back, adjust some goals, if I'm to keep from burning out over the long haul. So expect sporadic updates and an inconsistent ability to keep in touch over the next few months.

Also: We won't be attending WisCon 31. This has less to do with the medical stuff and more to do with a dear friend getting married. It's unfortunate, but we haven't booked our flight yet, the hotel room can be canceled, and we can apply our membership fees to next year's con. And WisCon was a deadline for a few of my bigger projects, so that gives me some flexibility as I rework some goals.

Again, we think everything's fine, and only getting better. When you wake up at 6AM on New Year's morning and the first thing you do is call 9-1-1, you can expect the rest of the year to roll relatively smoothly by comparison.
