The thing about people who live in caves, is that they tend to do something in those caves. Something productive. Are we separated from the rest of reality while we cave dwell? well, yeah.. that's kind of the point. Fewer distractions, means more work, and more work sometimes means awesome results. As to whether or not the results of my recent cave-dwelling are actually awesome is up to you to decide, but for the first time in a while, I've created something in my own time that requires more than just the minimal amount of effort I tend to put into non-paid work.
