My lunch breaks just haven't been the same since you've been gone. I've had to resort to mindless online games instead of being enlightened! You're certainly entitled to a vacation, but at least let your loyal fans know when you're gonna be away for a few days.

I agree with Michael. I thought you were dead.

And to think I actually worried about you. I second your Boo, Michael.

I won't boo you. You're entitled to have a life outside of this blog. (Though I am starting to go into withdrawal. I rely almost entirely on you to point me to interesting stuff on the web.) But I do want to thank you for the coffee mug you sent as a prize for the sexy alien robot contest. It's a perfect addition to my collection. Also, thanks for the bubble wrap that you included with it. That ought to help me kill some time until you get back from vacation. :-)

By the way, it recently occurred to me that Brainiac from "Smallville" (played by James Marsters) is an alien robot; and I'll bet that many women consider him to be sexy. I don't recall anyone mentioning him during the contest. (Don't worry -- I'm not fishing for another mug. I just wanted to point out our collective oversight. I'm surprised that none of your geeky female readers thought of Brainiac.)

Yes, I got my mug, as well. Thanks! Drinking from it right now. My wife opened the (very large) box and said, "He wrapped it like it's worth a million dollars." :-)

Well, you're entitled to a vacation, but I think that MSNBC is going to h*ll since they've moved your space, and I know it's going downhill all the way when you're on vacation and the rest of the site is just drivel. In fact, if I were you, Will, I'd put the old CV out there, because my interest in dealing with this site has fallen like 90%, and I'm sure I am not alone.
So when you're gone, there's *sigh* no reason to go on. Please restore hope for the rest of humanity.
