In 2007, the site www.flyingcircusofphysics.com received more than 100,000 visits from over 130 countries. Pretty good, I think.
In December, I made a delightful trip to the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada, to talk about physics demonstrations, The Flying Circus of Physics, and the Fundamentals of Physics (the textbook I write). The weather was frigid and I just barely missed 18 inches of snow, but the faculty were warm and thoughtful. Great trip, and again I did not burn myself by much with the molten lead demonstration.
