Hey there, all!
Happy Friday! You survived! And so did I, despite the universe's best efforts! As a reward, treat yourself to the next chapter of the Sensation audio book!
Also, update on the physical editions: they've been printed, bound, and shipped, and they're on schedule to be here on Tuesday.
Love y'all!

Celebrity endorsements by cute cartoon cats are good for any project. This week Symmetry Magazine reports that Hello Kitty is helping to promote the International Linear Collider.
This week we learn that operations at the Large Hadron Collider have been set back after a small weasel chewed through wiring on a 66 kilovolt transformer.
Have you ever heard the phrase 'Nice guys finish last'? It's kinda funny really... let me explain:
A nice guy would make sure the woman he's with has the best experience she can before he finishes, as it is the nice thing to do, where someone who isn't a nice guy wouldn't care as much.
You know how the game works. You bowl your ball towards ten pins set up in a triangle, with the aim of knocking down as many as possible. Simple. But the fundamental simplicity does not mean there is little to it, and like all the best games, fanatics have spent years analyzing every detail to determine the best strategy. This is an excellent one to study with the language of physics.
On Friday, I spent six hours stuck at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport when a computer glitch grounded flights to London. Fortunately my new laptop has a long battery life, and I had plenty of new story ideas to work on…
It is often said that every equation put into a popular science book will halve its sales. It is known that this is not true. But it's such a fun anecdote to put in the introduction, so we all keep repeating it.
Hi, all!
I'm sending out the invoices this weekend, so do me a solid and check out the order forms for the physical edition of "Sensation."
I'm going to order a couple extras, but unless you show your interest through the order forms, I can't guarantee I'll have one for you in the future. Don't wait, because it's really happening!
New story out now. Check it out here:
I started writing this two months ago, when, as residents of some parts of the Northern Hemisphere may recall, it was rather chilly. This saw a return of headlines about the Polar Vortex and a resulting spectrum of science stories, and a twitterstorm of science communicators trying to both correct misconceptions and cash in on the interest in a science topic.
In an episode which saw the return of Zecora, as well as Davenport, Mr Breezy and others, the character I was waiting to show up in It Isn't the Mane Thing About You was Zephyr Breeze. Where is a Mane Therapy graduate when you need him?
Instead let’s talk about the physics of ponytails.
Hey there, all!
Just a quick update that I've received the art and PDF proofs for "Sensation." It needs a couple tweaks to the art stupid hardcover creases, but after that, I'll sign off and get the physical proof. Here's the current timeline, assuming nothing goes wrong:
Wednesday: I send the art back with the changes
Thursday: I sign off on the proof
Wednesday the 28th: I get the physical proof (and use it to prep the boxes to be mailed out to everyone)
Hey there, all!
Reminder that the order forms for the physical copy of "Sensation" are now live! You can find all the info here.
Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Signal boosts are GREATLY appreciated.

High up in the Brighthouse cupola, Zipp, Sunny, Izzy and Pipp stood bathed in the rainbow light field surrounding the unity crystals.
Continuing my random commentary on Make Your Mark, Chapter 4…
About that big discovery last week.
This is one which we have been expecting for some time. I first read about the LIGO experiment some twenty years ago when it had just started construction and I was a young student dreaming about doing a summer placement in California—which turned out to be just a dream, but it was fun perusing the lists of student projects on offer at Caltech.
So I was playing NFS underground and got the car going downhill at a rate of speed that was already very impressive and usually unattainable which is when I broke physics. I missed a turn at the bottom of a hill slamming straight into a curb at about 300 MPH to be vertically launched like the space shuttle hundreds of miles into the sky instantaneously where I was treated to a grand view as I was given a slow circling tour of the entire region until finally slamming into the road at three
Last time, I let you guys know that I was putting a book of Limestone stories in the BronyCon Bookstore: "Bra Quest! and Other Tales of Limestone Pie." Well, today I got the very first test print back from Lulu! Check it out!!
AAAAAAAAA!!!!!
As we experience what feels like the world's longest drumroll, I'm going to spend my thousandth blog post to provide explicit, scientific proof that friendship is indeed magic.
