zodiac of teeth for androids



Okay, I finally managed to read this little minibook!
What a hoot!
Thanks, Cody, for the autographed copy of your book, "The Zodiac of Teeth"!
Anyone wanting to grab their own copy can go right here. For only $8, you can have one of your own to carry around in your jacket pocket!
This book would be great fun at a party! You could just whip it out and give your friends a new outlook on astrology!
The book begins with Aries, the Space-Time Ram.
Why with Aries?
I suspect that is because Cody Vrosh is an Aries man. I know my bfe believes the world revolves around his birthday in November.
(smile!)
Apparently, he is a big fan of waffles, too.
Just like the Space-Time Ram.
(smile!)
Taurus the Bully Bull is part of The Sons of Malarkey, but I suspect he has a softer side and can be led around by the ring in his nose.
Desmond and Mulgrew, the Siamese (cat) twins like to discuss the nature of duality. Hey, me, too!
The Retro Red Crab, Cancer, is a lover, not a fighter, even though he looks pretty fierce with those pincers and mouth full of teeth.
The Corporate Carp, Pisces, jokes around all the time. You can find him hanging out by the water cooler, working on puns to make you grin and groan.
(smile!)
But if a fight is what you want, with a side of sarcasm, check in with Leo, the Sweater Vest Lion or Doctor Scorpio. From hacking computers to lampooning with the gift of gab, they're the ones!
The Cosmic Unicorn, Virgo, is the cover boy. Unlike other kvetchy beasts of that ilk, this one can throw a keen party! Dance, dance!
Yep, that is my kind of animal!
(smile!)
Libra the TacoCat and Capricorn the Winter Goat are all about the munchies. Tasty singing bird tacos with a cup of cocoa and a cookie... life is good. Nom, nom!
But if adventure is what you crave, seek out Sagittarius the Carrot Archer or Aquarius the Water Bear-AARRR. Whether you're hanging on the back of the hot Vespa or drifting in a spaceship built for two, you're sure to have fun! Sign me up, please!
Thanks again, Cody, for this bonus book!

atomic size matters to quasicrystals!



Well, well, well! The book almost made it for my birthday! Indeed, if I consider it an extended weekend, then it's right on time!
When I had backed this kickstarter project in February, I had been very impressed with Veronica Berns' intent. She was so excited about the research work she was doing for her doctoral thesis that she wanted folks who knew and loved her to have some understanding of it. She decided to construct a comic book to decrease the fear factor that many folks have at the word "chemistry".
I don't have the time to read it right now. I am about to embark on a trip to Alabama, north Georgia, and North Carolina. I know I will be quite busy with family every day.
However, after that, I'll be off to south Florida for two weeks. That will be a solo journey and I'll try to read the book during that part of my summer vacation.
So... stay tuned!
