“Hey, dude, whatcha doin’?” “I’m making dinner.” “Yeah? What are you guys having?” “Well, since the book was published today, we’re having a couple of nice steaks to celebrate.” “Just a couple?” “Hmm? What do you mean?” “Well, you might remember, I had something to do with the book…” “It’d be hard to forget.” “So,… Continue reading Steak!

Teaching Physics to Other People’s Pets
How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is officially released tomorrow, because Tuesdays are New Book Days, but Amazon has been shipping them for a few days now, so it’s very likely they are already appering “in the wild,” as it were. So it seems like a good time to announce a new feature at… Continue reading Teaching Physics to Other People’s Pets
Thursday Baby Blogging 121709
It’s Thursday again, and that means Baby Blogging. But first, SteelyKid has a message: “Thanks for the awesome rocking frog, Aunt Erin!” Of course, as with any toy at this age, the box is just as much fun:
Why Every Dog Should Love Quantum Physics 1: Digital Cameras
I’ve been writing a bunch of publicity copy for the book the last few weeks, and one of those things is a list of reasons why every dog should know about quantum physics. I’ve been planning to chop that up into a bunch of individual blog posts in the run-up to the book, but the… Continue reading Why Every Dog Should Love Quantum Physics 1: Digital Cameras
Big Shoes to Fill
SteelyKid is a great big baby. By which I mean, she’s large for her age. We keep running into other parents whose kids are about the same size as her, but a year or more older. Every now and then, though, she does something to remind us that she’s still got a lot of growing… Continue reading Big Shoes to Fill
Thursday Baby Blogging 121009
SteelyKid was kind of overtired today, so she needed a little nap around dinnertime. This provided a nice opportunity to get a sleepy-baby picture for this week’s Baby Blogging: Bonus Kate for extra “OMG! Huuuuuge Baby!!!1!” effect. She’s wearing a way-cool roaring dinosaur shirt (purchased from the boys section, again…), but you can’t really see… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 121009
Thursday Baby Blogging 120309
It’s been a while since we had a sleeping-baby picture, so here’s SteelyKid at bedtime last night: I swear I wasn’t going for the Catherine Wheel album cover effect, but what can you do? SteelyKid and I are off to Boston today, where she’ll be visiting her grandmother while I head up to Maine to… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 120309
Mmmmmm…. Turkey
Here’s yesterday’s turkey a la Good Eats, a little while after coming out of the oven: As in past years, we brined it overnight. Unlike past years, we didn’t have any of the plastic roasting bags, so instead we took advantage of the spiffy new roasting pan (a Christmas gift after the liquid turkey incident)… Continue reading Mmmmmm…. Turkey
Thursday Baby Blogging 112609
We hosted Thanksgiving this year, and SteelyKid was the life of the party. When she saw Grandpa make the unwise decision to sit down on the couch with a glass of red wine, she came running, and spilled it all over him. To make up for it, she graciously decided to include him in this… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 112609
How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is a Real Book!
Look! How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is a real book: Emmy says, very seriously, “You will buy a copy, won’t you?” Of course, like everything else in this house, SteelyKid had to grab a copy:
