<p><strong>(Update: 7/30/10)</strong> It is looking more and more like the book will become available in September. Things could change though. But I&#8217;m trying to get the ball rolling. If you snooze you lose.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 7/12/10)</strong> Waiting&#8230;waiting&#8230;waiting. I&#8217;ve got several people I&#8217;m waiting on who will help me determine the fate of the book: how and when it will be published and in what final form. So, we&#8217;ll see how that all unfolds.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 4/21/10)</strong> The book is done and in the editing stage. When it will be available depends on who I decide to let publish it. It could be available as early as September or as late as 2012; it all depends. In the mean time, I&#8217;m going to be overhauling this site sometime soon, so save anything from the site that you really like because it might disappear.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 2/04/10)</strong> I have around 85% of the book finished. And after it is finished there are a number of phases to prepare it for publishing.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 12/01/09)</strong> I have around 65% of the book finished. However, I&#8217;m drawing a lot of blanks on the remaining 35%. It looks like the book should be out sometime in the second half of 2010. We&#8217;ll see, but whatever length of time it takes it will be worth the wait.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 9/14/09)</strong> I&#8217;ve been working on the drawing part of the book for a few months now and I&#8217;m only about 15% finished. It is hard, slow work that relies heavily on sporadic inspiration. I hope things start to speed up, but I don&#8217;t know. Making hundreds of interesting, witty, non-repetitive pictures to illustrate what are mostly abstract concepts is a challenge.</p>
<p><strong>(Update: 6/21/09)</strong> I&#8217;m getting to work on the drawing portion of my upcoming book. Can&#8217;t say when it will be finished yet, let alone when it will be available for purchase. Be patient; it will be worth the wait.</p>
<p><strong>(Original: 2/17/09)</strong> Starting my new book (The Universe Book).</p>
