Yeah, he said a while back that he's doing the "Family First" and laying low on YouTube for a while. Can't say as I blame him. Making a good video of decent quality like he does takes a lot of time that might be better spent with wife and child.
I always look forward to the videos, but grinding out a couple a month takes a creativity toll on a person. I just hope that taking a holiday from video making and from all of us on the forum, may make for fewer videos, but better quality. It was always the quality of his videos that kept me going to his channel. I'll happily take fewer if they retain the quality.
By the way, if anyone knows Ted that's reading this, I believe he's a biologist. If he wanted to make a couple videos about his work, that'd be interesting as well. Shooting is fun, but seeing what someone actually does for a living (if he thinks his job can be mundane, that's no excuse. He should try mine). The sciences always fascinated me, and seeing what they work on day to day would be fun.
