Giveaway finished! (Small) BNF update! Tumblr!

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the giveaway! I’m totally amazed that 580 people wanted a copy of my book. The five winners have been chosen by Goodreads and I will be sending out their copies soon. I hope to do another one soon, so if you weren’t one of the lucky ones this time, stay tuned.

In the meantime, things have been going great with the new project and I’ve been writing the chapters on New York City, “moving pictures”, and lost cities/lands (“Off the Map”). Once I’ve got some r...

Goodreads Q&A Group! Giveaway!

Hi everyone,

I’ve started a Q&A/discussion group for Neuroeconomics on Goodreads. It is an open group, so anyone who wants to ask questions about the book or discuss it with others is certainly welcome to join and participate! Having read the book is NOT a requirement, and neither is a background in neuroscience or science in general.

New project!

I’ve begun researching my next book! Its working title is “But Not Forgotten” and it will be a collection of essays about lost pieces of human culture– art, film, books, monuments, and so on, that have all been lost, misplaced, stolen, or destroyed.

That’s all for now, but I’ll be posting more as time goes on. :)

eBook is up! Available in stores!

The book is live! :D Neuroeconomics is now available for free download here on this website, and it is available in the Denver area at MUTINY Information Cafe on S. Broadway, The Bookies near Infinity Park on Mississippi, and all three locations of the Tattered Cover (LoDo, Colfax, and Highlands Ranch).

Ready for proofs!

Hey everybody,

The index has arrived, notes and references are done, it’s proofread and spell-checked and formatted, and that means Neuroeconomics: an Applied Information Theory is ready to have it’s first proof copy printed and checked over.

Just thought I’d post up this picture of the giant stack of all the drafts and incarnations it has gone through in the last year and a half alone, through the writing of the book all the way back to the drafts of the paper which was its precursor. A lot of...

Neuroeconomics is getting ready to print!

First post on the new website to say that my first book Neuroeconomics is going through its last round of revisions while I wait for my index to be finished and I’ll be meeting with my printers on Thursday! It’s a very exciting time and I’ll be posting more as events develop.

Cheers everybody! :)
