Have a safe journey!We took off just as the edge of the typhoon was hitting our location, into some pretty fierce wind and rain--that plane was racing up at a degree you wouldn't believe... my son thought it was hilarious he couldn't even lean forward to press the buttons on the entertainment set :P
No joke I'd buy that book in a heartbeat.
If I may ask, is art a hobby of yours or related to your profession?

Anyway, at least I didn't end up wasting an entire day traveling around and have to do it all over again. Lucky. Even before takeoff I took a shot of a schedule readout on which every flight but four (including ours), were canceled.
Nice, I spent many of my younger years drawing as a primary hobby as well (including most of class time...), though I don't do much any more except for occasionally sketching out map designs. That said I'm sure the artistic skills have somewhat translated over to my work with ASCII, websites, photography etc. A useful habit :)If I may ask, is art a hobby of yours or related to your profession?
Just a hobby, kind of a residual thing from doing lots of drawing as a youngster (I guess I've kept my hand in over the years by filling my work notebooks margins with (variously) monsters, robots and spaceships).
I mentioned your book over on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GridSageGames/status/648725012061380608), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Cogmind/photos/a.569220016526405.1073741828.461733670608374/873270422788028/?type=3), and Bay 12 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131427.msg6528037#msg6528037) (not sure if you're following the latter thread).
Also, in my excitement over this I showed my wife, to which her response on the cover was "What's a roguelike?" I tell her it's the genre Cogmind belongs to, and she says "when people ask me what you do, I just tell them I have no idea..."
Wow, I just went to publish my new article and noticed this was the most popular post ever on Cogmind's Facebook page, beating out even the original launch and my postmortem data. (Of course the number of followers has grown since then, but still!) I'm going to give this more exposure elsewhere 8)
@mendonca: Already multiple people have asked where this book can be purchased :P
