Just mentioning that I’ve got the galley that is the last time I can make any changes to the book. After this, it’s a gold master!

We’re Getting Closer All the Time
In a little over three months, GeekDad: Awesomely Geeky Projects for Dads and Kids to Share will hit the shelves (both real and virtual), and the publishing process continues at a frenzy. Last night, I received the first galley – basically a laser-printed copy of the book with the final formatting. I have a week to make any last-minute tweaks or edits, so I’m spending all my free moments reading the thing one more time. I have to say I enjoyed going through the introduction section, which was mostly written nearly 16 months ago. The prose feels fun and breezy, and hopefully very readable. I get more excited every day!
And the final formatting looks great! You’ll notice a row of little robots at the top of the website here – those come from the final book formatting, as does the use of my new favorite font, Armada Light. More to come as the day gets closer!
Updating the Website
We’re knocking down a couple walls, adding some skylights, and hopefully getting this thing ready for the launch of the book, which is only THREE MONTHS AWAY! Hope you like it.
