ATXBS down for good?

The AXTBS website has been seemingly down for weeks.  I can't find any chatter about it anywhere.  Is anyone in contact with Jason, or know whether the site is coming back?  It was very popular, and if it's gone for good it will leave a pretty big hole in local online bike media.

Re: ATXBS down for good?

Indeed, it seems ATXBS is gone for a long while. I noticed he has written some comments in an A2W post (unrelated to the Drupal sign in his blog) nothing else.
It may be a vacation case and we'll have the pleasure of reading his blog soon enough. On the other hand, burnout is a common occurrence in bike advocacy in Austin; can't blame him.

Well, that has obviously happened, even with the site back up -- he hasn't done much to update it at all in quite a few months.
