I was going to write something about the politics of scientific publishing, but instead, I want to focus on what's really important in modern publishing:
That's right, I got a couple of early copies of How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog in the mail this morning. It's a real book, with pages and everything... You can see it above, next to How to Teach Physics to Your Dog, and various clutter on my desk, for scale.
There's not much else to say, other than "Woo-hoo!" They're printing lots more, of course, and it will be available wherever books are sold starting Feb. 28th.

Looks great, but odd that they changed the style so dramatically. Are they going to release a new version of HTTPTYG to match?

Of course I mean HTTPTYD. Damn dyslexia. Don't think my god needs much teaching about physics. Could be wrong though.

Congrats. I saw someone on the subway reading "How to teach quantum mechnanics to your dog" the other day, which was kind of a buzz. You're the Stieg Larsson of physics. Or is that Emmy?

Er, "quantum mechnanics" -> "physics", of course.

Congratulations. As you rise to prominence among teachers of science, I foresee a day when you will found a university for dogs.
