Now on ScienceBlogs: The significance of 2/13
Thoughts on physics, politics, and pop culture, by a physics professor at a small liberal arts college, plus occasional conversations with his dog.
You've read the blog, now try the books! How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is published by Scribner, and available wherever books are sold. How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog is published by Basic Books and will be available 2/28/2012, as foretold by the Maya.
"Uncertain Principles" features the miscellaneous ramblings of a physicist at a small liberal arts college. Physics, politics, pop culture, and occasional conversations with his dog.
"Prof. Orzel gives the impression of an everyday guy who just happens to have a vast but hidden knowledge of physics." (anonymous student evaluation comment)

That's exactly the sort of thing you won't have to read if I meet my Challenge goal by Friday. Or even get $1000 or 100 new donors by Friday, in which case I'll have to do a respectful review of his book.
Thus far, we've only picked up $120 in new donations, so it's not looking real likely. But, hey, a sudden surge of generosity could put it over the top... So why not donate?

Honestly? Specifically because "Richard Dawkins" Is A Big Mean Doodyhead is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to see more of. Which makes me a bad person, but Dawkins has a way of making points that I might broadly agree with in a manner that makes me mutter "God, what an ignorant tool" under my breath.

Well, if this week's incentive doesn't pan out, maybe next week I'll offer an incentive for people who would like to see more "Richard Dawkins Is a Big Mean Doodyhead" posts...
