First batch of winter buns.

Short posts from Andrew Jaffe
First batch of winter buns.

Listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs on the Richmond origins of The Yardbirds while riding the 65 London bus through Richmond.
The good news: The Random Universe is the “#1 New Release in Cosmology”.
The bad news: a friend and cosmology colleague has found the first error in the book.
Today in the NY Times: Lisa Lucas’ love letter to Leiden, one of the intellectual capitals of Europe.
Podcast appearance: listen to me talk about The Random Universe (the book, and the Universe itself) on Sean Carroll’s Mindscape. We cover epistemology, probability, quantum mechanics, cosmology and more. Sean and I were cosmology grad students at the same time, and it was a pleasure and an honour to spend time with him online.
The Random Universe is out! Buy it or borrow it, read it and review it!
The Random Universe isn’t out until tomorrow (November 11), but the Kindle edition is on sale in both the US and in the UK. (And if you look very carefully, you’ll see that it has broken into the top 100 UK cosmology bestsellers…)
