How to Teach Physics to Your Dog: Festive Update

There's no rest for the wicked, as last weekend's hectic running around is followed by another busy weekend, with some on-campus stuff on Sunday as part of our annual Accepted Students Days. More importantly, though, I will be on a panel at the Empire State book Festival on Saturday from 12:45-1:30 pm:

BLOOK: Going from Blog to Book

Empire State Convention Center, Meeting Room 4

Books derived from blogs are a publishing phenomenon of the past few years. Why is there an audience for previously digital content in analog form, and what does this say about the future of the book? Hear from a remarkably diverse collection of blog-to-book creators.

Moderator:

Michael Janairo

Speakers:

Cathy Erway

Joan Konner

Chad Orzel

David Sax

Kevin Walsh

If you'd like to know more about the other panelists, their blogs, and their books, Michael Janairo has a helpful guide at the Times Union.

I'm also down for a "Meet and Greet" from 1:45-2:30, where I will be happy to sign books and chat about blogs, dogs, physics, or anything else. And, of course, there are numerous other talks and panels.
