Meanwhile, if you need your blog fix, I encourage you to [...]

Not sure when (or why) this happened, but I just noticed that my Faceted Search book is now almost half off at Amazon, selling for $12.94. Not that it was ever that extravagant a purchase, but at this price you have 48% fewer excuses not to buy your own copy! And, speaking of Amazon, I [...]
