I had tried contacting him a few weeks to update him on the specifics of the VirtualCenter maintenance mode/HA bug when I noticed he blogged on it, but a "contact me" or email address was nowhere to be found on his blog site. The blog comments weren't working either. I randomly tried emailing administrator@VMwarewolf.com and webmaster@VMwarewolf.com. Both emails bounced. Rather annoying.
