I just realized that I haven’t actually posted anything on this site about the fact that I’ve stopped making new videos.

I let all of the Insiders know and I talked about it on Twitter a lot, but I probably should have made this post a long time ago, especially considering all the new people who are just now discovering past episodes of Awesomeology on YouTube and sending me emails asking why I stopped.

There are a lot of reasons I stopped but it all boils down to time. I had to make a choice in my life as to what to focus on during my free time and Awesomeology had to go.

That’s not to say that it’ll never be back…it might. I’ll never say never, but for right now I don’t have any plans to make new episodes.

For those of you who miss all the random fun stuff that I find online, don’t worry…I’m still sharing all of it, only instead of making videos I’m posting it at http://waltpsu.com. If you enjoyed the things I featured on episodes of Awesomeology, you’ll probably like what you see there too.

And of course, you can always say hello on Twitter
