Today is six months to the day from the official release date of my book, How to Teach Physics to Your Dog. It feels like I ought to do something promotion-like to mark this date, and I have a couple of extra bound galley proofs (seen above with Emmy), sooo….. I hereby announce the first… Continue reading How to Teach Physics to Your Dog Caption Contest

Thursday Baby Blogging, Daddy’s Birthday Edition
Another arbitrary numerical signifier for Daddy! Yay! Not the best Appa-for-scale picture, so here’s one from earlier this morning:
Finding Rainbows
Google the title phrase, and you’ll find a bunch of New Age twaddle. This is a physics blog, though, so here’s a reliable scientific method for finding the location of a rainbow, such as this one seen over Chateau Steelypips after the thunderstorms that went through earlier this evening (it was much brighter half a… Continue reading Finding Rainbows

You get Baby Blogging early today, because I have a ton of grading to finish today, and don’t have time for bloggy things. This week, SteelyKid shows off two new-ish skills: She can stand up, and she’s strong enough to lift a bison! Look out, world…

Thursday Baby Blogging 050709
It’s been an uneven week for SteelyKid. She was a litle bit sick last week, and really only got better last weekend, only to turn listless and feverish at day care Monday. This led to yet another trip to the pediatrician, at which we learned that waking a sleeping baby up to press a cold… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 050709
