Going offline
Hi everyone. I’m heading offline for a few weeks to recover from retinal surgery. The surgery is the same one I had last year – detailed in this blog post – and while it’s got a very high likelihood of success, recovery is pretty long and unpleasant. I don’t plan on blogging, twittering or otherwise communicating online for at least the month of August, possibly longer, though it’s possible that Rachel or other friends might post some updates here or on Twitter (@ethanz). Have a great month, and looking forward to seeing everyone in September.

Good luck! I hope your recovery is full and as speedy as possible.

I mam sure I speak for thousands who follow your work in wishing you a very successful operation and all the time it takes to get back on form.
