See PF in Scientific American Oct/Nov

[Greg Bernhardt]

I have been given notice that the Scientific American network (10 or so sites) will be promoted in either the Oct or Nov edition of Sciam (may include international edition). So keep an eye out for PF if you pick up those months issues!

 

[Kurdt]

Thats great news Greg! How much more traffic do you expect that to generate?

No idea. Prolly not that noticable to most members.

you think a lot of people visit sites listed in a magazine?

Congrats, Greg! You're hitting the Big Time!

I think a lot of people read SciAm. But how many pay attention to the promotion - I guess we'll see. Maybe you should get a batch of PF T-shirts, tote bags, . . . .

PF swimwear would be cool

 

[Borek]

Mugs and mouse pads...

For the first few years we did run a cafepress store with PF shirts! I have thought about bringing it back with "at cost" prices.

That would be great!

Are there any T-shirts in stock?

Did they have pockets?

Actually I prefer sleeveless T-shirts - but they've got to have a pocket.

 

[Kurdt]

Design a PF t-shirt competition.

We have sleeveless. No pockets though.

Or at least funny PF sayings or PF gags.

My university physics society was desperate to come up with something funny to go on the back of their hoodies. In the end they went with a picture of a cat with the caption: "Wanted: dead or alive. Schrödinger's cat."

Just out of curiosity, why? You can just tape your pocket protector directly to your shirt.

I like that.

Congrats on SciAm announcement. This is very cool!

The word "Crackpots" with a slash across it? :)

Zz.

It would just pull off. Besides the pocket is for scrap paper. I can clip the pens, mechpencils and highlighters to the collar. Having a pocket is just more convenient.

How about:

 

[Kurdt]

that works. All I have in my head now is the Ghostbusters theme.

depending on the review yes I do. Especially the kind of people who read Scientific American. Especially a site like PF. I think there are a lot of people out there who will check it out. I don't know how many will stick around, but I'd expect a huge hit when the magazine comes out.

 

[Evo]

Nice one janus! I'd make the circle just a bit bigger so you can easliy see the cracked pot.

Congrats Greg!

 

[Lisa!]

Congrats!
May people who're invited to join PF take here more seriously from now on!

 

[Janus]

Congrats Greg!

Maybe more like this?

My experience is that people do. We'll keep an eye out

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The sciam partners finally made the Dec issue. Our link is on page 32!

 

[Evo]

Ooooh, wonderful!

Congratulations Greg!

 

[~christina~]

Or maybe:

No chamberpots allowed?

A full page for the partners! Very cool.

LOL! My entire "favorites" list started out as SciAm's list of "50 Coolest Websites"!

BTW: should we have an area (maybe in "General Discussion") just for talking about thecoolest stuff in the current monthly issue? I do enjoy that mag, and sometimes I feel like I want to engage in discourse regarding some of the articles, but I don't want to expose the unwaery to any "spoilers".

 

[Borek]

I think if you will start a thread about any article that'll be OK. Opening new area/subforum before it is obvious there is enough material to fill it doesn't work.
