It was a busy week! Eight events in just over a week, with talks in Eugene, Portland, Corvallis, Seattle, Olympia, and Lake Forest Park (North Seattle).

I’ve heard that the “happiest authors are those with low expectations,” but my expectations were greatly exceeded — almost every venue was full with standing room only.

As I expected, most people came to the events because they were cyclists or interested in adventure.

First, here’s an accurate (I believe), fun, and informative video on fracking:

Andy Revkin’s writes more about this video and the state of fracking on his blog, dotEarth.

Next, here are a bunch of rapping climate scientists. I don’t know if this video is good or bad for climate science, but it is fun!
