The new Humble Bundle is up, and it's for the
Humble Brainiac Book Bundle presented by No Starch Press, some sort of O'Reilly imprint/affiliate, which consists of a whole bunch of geeky science & computer and LEGOŽ-oriented mostly kid-friendly titles.
I have the Manga Guides to Physics & Electricity in paper versions, and those alone would be worth the price of admission IMHO (these are translations of educational comics written by Japanese university professors with significant credentials: here's a
page about them on the publisher's website).
Here's some copy-paste of what you get at each tier (more stuff to be added to the middle pay-more-than-average next Wednesday):
Quote:
Name your price for the The Manga Guide to Electricity; The LEGO Adventure Book, Vol. 1; Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred; Lauren Ipsum; and Ruby Wizardry.
If you pay more than the average price, you'll also get Build Your Own Website; Incredible LEGO Technic; Python for Kids; The Manga Guide to Physics; and LEGO Space.
If you pay $15 or more, you'll receive all of the above plus The LEGO Neighborhood Book; Steampunk LEGO; and JavaScript for Kids. Now that's some food for thought!

I am very definitely getting this one, although I'm going to wait on it a bit, since the Canadian dollar seems to be going up slightly, so hopefully the exchange rate will be better next week.
