Between now and Sunday night, U.S. shipping is free on any Sheldon shirt(s) you pick up in the store!

Live in Alaska? Free.

Live in Hawaii? Free.

Live in a tiny little town in Iowa with no local post office...where surely, SURELY we can't ship it for free? Free.

So head on over and treat yourself! Treat a loved one! Treat the cat!* Free U.S. shipping on shirts between now and Sunday! Just make sure you click "Free 1st-Class Shipping" when you order — thanks!

*Note: No guarantee that your cat will like the shirt. Some cats are mean like that.

It looks like the Sheldon site was down for a bit on the morning of the 21st. Apparently, at the server farm where Sheldon resides, heat was building up on the Hadron Supercollider, and the whatchamajiggit was threatenin' to 'splode into heat because the Rebel Alliance had placed explosives nearby so that they could bring the shields down on the Death Star.

Or something to that effect.

Something to the effect that a server-farm fire was avoided by shuttin' everything down for a bit.

Good times!

Sheldonista Jacky S. sent me a link to this amazing table.

I can already hear you saying "amazing table???" Yes, I say to you.

YES.

My buddy Brad has posted some photos that "About.com" took at our ECCC talk. There are a few good 'uns in there.

We had a great crowd for the talk — thank you to all those that came out. I was told after the show closed that we had one of the bigger audiences for the weekend. I'm always terrible as guesstimating crowd sizes. According to my brain's spatial estimate...coulda been five people, coulda been five thousand.

So let's just use some arbitrary unit measure and say it was "207 cubits of people".
