The pace has slowed, but there are still occasional sightings of How to Teach Physics to Your Dog in my Google vanity searches:
- It turns up on library blogs with some regularity. This particular one, from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is nice because it’s not just a rewrite of the publicity copy
- I was really excited to see Daily Kos show up as one of the sites found by the blog search, because they have bazillions of readers. It was only a plug in a comment, but still…
- The strangest– in a good way– mention recently was this passing reference in a newspaper column from Michigan, where How to Teach… is just mentioned as a jumping-off point for a story about canine geometry. It’s not really about the book, per se, but it’s very cool that they assume it’s well known enough to drop that way.
Not directly related to the book, but kind of cool: some of the Cornell students I talked with after my talk there a couple of weeks ago have started a blog: The Virtuosi (one of their posts is in this morning’s Links Dump as well). They’ve got a wide range of stuff up already, and it looks like a good addition to the universe of physics blogs.
