Barukh, I am in California, but over 300 miles away from Silicon Valley. I don't know if any of the regulars live around there. William Wu should be around, but I'd hardly call him a regular.

I'd try e-mailing William directly to see if he can meet you. Since he doesn't spend a lot of time here, he may not see your invitation otherwise. However, I suspect he might like to meet sometime.
(Of course, Kansas is a considerable distance from CA, so it's out of the question for me.  )

Wow, people missed me when I went MIA 
I've been trying to start my own business, as well as new relationships, and life! This is my only excuse for being absent for ~10 Mos, however I have peeked in on occasion.
Besides my love for riddles, and such, this is the most remarkable group of people I've ever found on the web (or off, for that matter). Sometimes I feel a little under-qualified to be here, but I persist just the same.
Actually I'm starting a new job next Tuesday, so that either means I will have more time (than trying to run my own business), or less time, while I'm getting a handle on their systems and methods. Either way, I was at the coast a week or so ago, and had an idea for what might be a new type of riddle. Actually, I'm sure someone has done it at some time, but I'm thinking about formalizing it into a specific methodology.
Honestly, It's much easier to make riddles than solve them! 
Once again, it's good to be back, and stay tuned--this could be fun!

Yes, we missed you. You have more skill with word puzzles than just about anybody here, so being under-qualified is ridiculous. I'm looking forward to your new puzzles.

Pietro is always gone for long periods, occasionally popping up if he has an interesting problem, or one of his threads have a response that warrant his attention.

Couldn't say if he sent anyone a PM, but his last public post is still June 6...
Also, @mikedagr8, Eigenray has been known to take semi-extended breaks before -- I wouldn't worry too much just yet.
