"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.

sm_cover_draft_atom.jpgI've been buried in work, so I haven't had time to do any real blogging, but I do want to post a quick reminder of this week's signing:

-- This FRIDAY, March 5 (that is, the day after tomorrow), I will be signing books at the Vestal, NY Barnes and Noble at 7pm. I'm not entirely sure what they expect, but at the very least, I will be signing books and answering questions. If they want me to read stuff, I can do that, too, and will bring along the unpublished dialogue that I read at Boskone.

If you're in the Binghamton area, and are looking for a way to kick your Friday night off with some physics, come on by.

A first sighting here--I had mentioned your book to a student a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised yesterday when he said he had purchased a copy! (after he had earlier complained that he did not like buying books any more in an age of illegally downloading the electronic versions!) Thus far a positive review.

The surprise is that neither I nor the student in question are involved in physics in any way.

Since I doubt you'll make it to Wyoming on your book touring I'm asking my long-suffering brother to secure a copy of your book for me and send it by pony express out my way. My dogs anxiously await, as do I.

Thank you for signing your book for my sister (March 5th-Binghamton,NY).

She now owes me big time!
Actually,I may read it first before sending it to Wyoming.
