Your book and website are awesome. I actually bought a copy of your book for my brother for his birthday and one for another science minded friend for a Christmas stocking stuffer. Now, please get back to work writing your next one! (we are a demanding bunch us BABloggees) :). I was really just kidding Phil. Your book and website are awesome.

Cheyenne: Well, don't use the tote bag then! No one is forcing you to carry it. For those who want one, the option is there. They're very useful on short trips or beach visits. Mike and others: I'll send a note to the IT guy about that. Thanks for letting me know. John G: Cool, thanks!

It's a conversation starter (or "piece" as they say in NYC). Buy the Latte, saddle up to the high-top with a book that has a blazing large glob of fusioning gas on it- The ladies like it (not all, but yeah, some- well, most no, but there have been 4. Well, 2 really if I'm honest- but still....). Do you know what is really not cool in any way? Showing up to said high-top coffee stool with a ManPurse around the arm. I like science geeks. I respect science geeks for what they do. But please, for the love of all science geeks that want to ascend to the level of not getting wedgies for their lunch money- stop sending them tote blue ManPurses with their cool new science books!

This really bugs me as a web developer who has developed online stores in the past.
