And yes, I do actually finish some of these projects. See video below of my Bodacious Acoustic Diagnostic Astoundingly Superior Spectromatic (BADASS) Display (Figure 6) in action.
Shaughnessy: When can we expect another book?
Maxfield: Actually, I do have one on the go as we speak: a book on grammar and punctuation for engineers. As I always say, if someone sends me an e-mail saying "Your an idiot," they probably aren't sending the message that had hoped to convey. My mission is to make this so interesting that everyone is talking about it at the water cooler. I had a burst of activity a few months ago and wrote the first seven chapters in a couple of weeks, but then my attention wandered…oooh, something shiny!
The problem is that there are so many fun things to do, and so little time to do them in. Speaking of which, I have a diorama to work on. I'll send you some pictures when it's finished.
Shaughnessy: Thanks for your time, Max.
Maxfield: Great talking to you, Andy.
