I wasn't necessarily condoning Andrew's priorities, but I don't really find anything wrong with them either. Mixergy is clearly very important to him, and I think he's lucky to have something he cares about so much. I've found it can help to take your mind off a bad situation by thinking about something you're passionate about, and I know if I was in a hospital bed right now I'd want to be working on a fun programming project, not worrying about the here and now.
