This is a good one. A little morgue talk between me and Jonathan Davis @JDavisOfficial of @Korn. Thanks, @singforscience for posting this!

Original STIFF cover, pulled at the last minute. I liked it, despite the implication that I’m a dead bald guy. This is the first in a recurring series of foreign covers that stood out for one reason or another. To see the rest, follow me on Instagram: https://t.co/JdY98m6MdK

Seattle peoples! Come to this! If, you know, you want to. I'm excited to see the museum and the event should be exceptionally fun. Thanks @museumofflight!
Don’t miss @mary_roach at The Museum of Flight on Feb. 14! The best-selling author of Packing for Mars will entertain with “the talk” about true space stories, from toilet training to zero-G sex.

What she said. Also: @DanielDKraus and I will be sharing whale stomach survival tips at @bookpassage this Monday at 5:30 (SF/Ferry Building store).
I have your summer weekend read right here... GRAVITY meets 127 HOURS at sea in @DanielDKraus's astounding new book WHALEFALL. Easily one of my favorite novels of the year.
