Ask HN: Where is Steve Yegge?

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Steve Yegge and his (Drunken) Blog Rants. He's a languages guru, opinionated about a lot of topics I care about, and had been at blogging for a long time; often silly, also poignant. After quite some time at Amazon, he's been at Google for a few years. His supposedly final series of posts, "The Programmer's View of the Universe", has not seen any attention since the third entry on May 18 2009: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2009/05/programmers-view-of-universe-part-3.html

Not only that, but the most recent approved comment was half a year ago and I haven't seen any murmurs or hints of Steve's online presence since then. So I'm starting to wonder: Where is Steve Yegge?

Has he gone stealth and started blogging anonymously? Is he being silent while on a skunkwork a la Building 49? Did he decide to finish his series in the form of a book? I don't know. I figure someone who works at Google or knows him personally might read this and know what's up with him though.

If he's gone stealth: I appreciate his writing and insights and would like to keep seeing fresh work from him. I'm willing not to share his identity/presence to protect him from trolling. At the very least, it would be nice to know he's alive and well! Please share what you know.

When he was on the Stack Overflow podcast a while back he said that he was going to be finished blogging shortly thereafter. That was about a year ago.

Correct. In the last entry I referenced, he opened saying, "We're getting close to the end of my blog. After today's entry, I only have three left to write. After that, I'll only blog anonymously or (more likely) not at all."
