That is awesome. Clicking through indicates that this is available for GBP12, but I couldn't find an "order" link. Will these be available here in the States, and can I get one autographed? :-)

I will have to keep you posted on that - as of yet, I don't even know how I'm getting my copy. If you do get one I'll of course be happy to sign it :)

Very cool. Everything makes so much sense, even to someone with no background. Yay, intelligent design! (Which is not the same as Intelligent Design :-)

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so! I'm pretty happy with the whole thing.

[cnoocy]

Excellent. I am also interested in info about the book.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Funny that you should mention it - are you going back to the UK anytime soon? We should discuss some logistics.

[cnoocy]

Not that I know of. jadelennox is over there right now, though, so if you can get a copy to Southampton, you might have some luck emailing her.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Will she still be there at the end of the month?

[cnoocy]

No. She's coming back this weekend.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Oh well. If you and 530nm330hz both want one, and I want my copy, I'm sure we can figure something out.

Your post icon is changing symbols in time with the music I'm listening to ("I'm With Stupid", Pet Shop Boys). Nice symbols, too.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them.

I found the settings I used to create the icon - the title shows for a second, then each of the other symbols gets half a second, then the title gets 1.5 seconds before the planets start again. I guess "I'm With Stupid" is about 120 BPM?

all are great! i especially like the Apophis asteroid.

[ahkond.livejournal.com]

Googling around a bit tells me it's more like 130, but it was close enough for the illusion.

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like Apophis too - I've been drawing it in margins since I came up with it :)

[kinkyturtle.livejournal.com]

I'd say "clever design" to avoid confusion. :}

[lsl.livejournal.com]

That's awesome. Barring extreme expense I want one too!! Maybe of we can get enough people together it would make sense to bulk ship them?

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

I'll talk to Alec about it. :)
