I'm right back...

After those messages.   No, I'm not some flash-in-the-pan blogger who's going to disappear.  You'll be reading my blog years from now.  I guarantee it.  But yes, I've been taking some time off from it.  I've been trying to line up a few interviews with folks.  After Josh (of Cathode Tan) had a good one with Jeff Freeman and Justin (of Get The Sugar) did a good one with Amanda Lannert, I've decided it's a good bandwagon to jump on.  I do like a good bandwagon.

Speaking of bandwagons, one I'll be jumping on is one piloted by Corvus (of May Bytes Blog).  The Gaming Roundtable.  So, by Thursday you'll be able to pop right back in here and get info on 'Innovation in the FPS genre' as seen by me.  And better yet, you'll be able to look around the table and get the opinions of other swell guys as well.  If you're interested in sharing your opinion, send an email over to Corvus.  His email address is here.  Again on bandwagons, let it be said, as sad as I am that my petition to get Jellyvision to make another You Don't Know Jack game was only signed by 26 people, I'm more saddened that no one said anything about it being a wonderful gesture while at the same time a funny slam on Kotaku's 'game editors tired of covering outrage' petition.  Then again, I still haven't solved Josh's puzzle from his hosting the Carnival of Gamers.  And he's giving away a prize, $50.

Oh, and if you're a bored developer, feel free to drop me a note if you want to do an interview.
