I know I blogged a lot about the book already, and I foresee I’ll have the tendency of doing more of it in the near future. It’s that it was a lot of work, and took a long time to come out; and now that we are finally there, I just can’t help blabbering about it and exchanging tons of mails with Caleb<\/A> and Garrett<\/A> on the smallest details… I can assure you, my wife and colleagues are having a much worse time than you! Especially the super patient Ryan<\/A>, seasoned AW author<\/A>, whom I bug on daily basis on this topic.
