"I was becoming disillusioned," Mr. Williams said. "PCMCIA code seemed so...so banal. Once I could reliably turn my laptop off there was nothing left for me. All I had to remember it was the dust settling around me, mounds of printouts, the cell phone slammed through the drywall and the roaring echo of the fans' cheers in my ears. I miss that." Following his announcement of returning to the limelight, Mr. Williams has chosen to take a brief vacation with his family to relax and get his mindset together before returning to the stage. He continues, "I dig touring, man. Chicks throwing their applets at me, it's wild."
