If you haven’t gotten around to checking out The Time Traveler’s Pocket Guide yet, I have some motivation for you!

And if you are having trouble talking your friends into giving me their money, today might be a good day to send them this-a-way!

Because for today only, I’m giving away the eBook of The Time Traveler’s Pocket Guide away for free! Also free: all these exclamation points that I am using!!

(Link was here, but now it is not the aforementioned today anymore )

And, of course, if you are interested in the physical, hold-able, flip-through-able version of the book (or my various art prints and other things), you can find all that over at http://thechairparade.bigcartel.com.

Are you low on space on your bookshelves? Love trees? Hate paper? Hate spending $10 on things?

Well! The good news is that The Time Traveler’s Pocket Guide is now available as an ebook!

The bad news is… wait! There is no bad news! Just another way for you – and your friends who I’m sure you’ll be sending this link to – to get the book!

You can find the book on the Amazon Kindle store here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099HZUZK

Or you can buy it directly from me and get a bundle containing  PDF, MOBI, a EPUB versions of the book. Get that version here: http://thechairparade.bigcartel.com/product/the-time-traveler-s-pocket-guide-ebook

Both versions cost only $4.99!

The Time Travel Bureau’s puzzle contest ended last week, and we have our winners! By coincidence, they are both fellows by the name of Ben.

The first person to correctly solve the puzzle (the answer was GIGAWATT, by the way!) was Ben Heaton, and our random-correct-answerer winner is Ben Haytack.

Good work, Bens!

Earlier this week, I was honored to be a guest on FourCast on the TWiT network with hosts Scott Johnson and Tom Merritt and fellow guest Zach Weiner. On the episode, we discuss the computer simulation we may or may not be living in and why we should watch out for gibbons.
