Why Newbie Took Such a Long Blog Break

I can't believe I haven't posted here since the beginning of the summer! I know, I know, I'm a negligent blogger. Shameful. Partly this summer was really really busy (I was traveling for most of July), and partly I just needed an extra-long blog break... But mostly I was working on this.

So for those of you who wondered where my blog energies have gone -- now you know!
