Where is bernhard?

I have not seen his post ever since November last year. It has been three months!

Miss his good and useful advice so much.

someone told him he had no formal training - so he's going around picking up his honorary degrees at yale, harvard, julliard, and london royal school of music.  *i don't think he's this smart without some kind of degree - even if it isn't in music.  some people are just really smart and can't help it.  what does it matter if you play well anyway.  people don't go around asking you - once you graduate - oh, you have to have studied these particular books, in this particular place, to be able to play here.  they just say ' can you play?  can you teach?  what successes have you had in this area?  ok. come on.'

my husband has a degree in physics and helped a coworker do an algorithm.  i don't think when he was getting his physics degree, or when he designed his own operating system for a doctor's office, that he would use this knowledge at his current job.  but, when you can transfer various skills and add to them - you become valuable not just for knowing how to do something - but how to integrate it into a situation.  bernhard is appreciated not just for knowing all that he does, but integrating things so that people can understand where he's coming from and going with an idea.  he takes the time to explain it.  this is good teaching.  and, he's accurate.  that's the other half.

I just saw a post by him in the last few days.

It was in response to one of those "rank the difficulty" questions.
