Friends and family are already mostly aware, but here's the reason for the recent radio silence.

I'm sure we'll talk again before the fun starts in September.
Cheers,
André

Happy Monday, everybody! Andre here, checking in to wish you a happy Pi(e) Day and Happy National Potato Chip Day! It's also the website's NINTH (?) anniversary!

You'll see a slow return to frequent posts in the coming weeks.

Enjoy the ride!
