Khriss notes that Wax is only the third (?) of his particular flavor of Twinborn ever, so it's likely, or at least plausible, that she wouldn't have had the chance to interview the other two. As for Jasnah, since the Wax & Wayne era takes place inside the gap between the first and second Stormlight mini-series, we know that Jasnah has returned there from her trip around Shadesmar. It's certainly possible that she left after book 5 and went to visit Scadrial, but given the overwhelming amount of evidence that Wax's dancer partner was Khriss, I don't think we need to entertain that possibility just yet.

Not necessarily. The sunlight and the sand could have a lock and key kind of relationship similar to how the metals on Scadrial work. Except instead of metals being a channel for the Allomancer to access the power of Preservation, it could be the sunlight that provides the channel, and the sand could be just a container similar to the spheres. On a different note, I love what I assume is Khriss on that cover.

I did like the second one a lot, so I am not sure I am a good person to ask.

The sandling reminds me of the greatshells on Roshar...

No concrete answer to either one of those. We (I?) strongly suspect Division is kind of like nuclear fission, only not as powerful - the ability to break things apart, or maybe explode them essentially. As for the Oaths, I think the Skybreakers had one along the lines of "I will uphold the law above all else," but I also think this was something a fan made up and I loved it so much, I canonized it in my head.

Leatherbound is back in print!

As far as I know, there is no such WoB. We know there are kandra worldhoppers, but that's about it. To quote Bill Nye (who himself quotes someone else), "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," - though a link to the WoB should suffice here.

Apparently a Reckoners T-shirt appeared in Brandon's store when I wasn't looking. I don't think I've seen it before. I kind of wish "magical space hobo" was a little more dominant there, I feel like people need to know where I stand on that.

A bit of a necro, but I was going over the February 2016 tweets, and it looks like @DeathIsSilver on Twitter got "Roughly 4000 miles East to West" from Isaac on the size of the Roshar supercontinent. Which may have changed, as per Peter's "globe experiment."

Eh, I don't know. My personal feeling is that you've committed an unforgivable crime, but I don't remember either one of the other books' climactic scenes being revealed exactly in Calamity. You'll know how and what Megan is immediately, so you lose that reveal. Same with Prof. You'll know that Steelheard is dead, but not how. Many of the events in Babylar are not referenced in Calamity either. As far as spoiling previous books go, Calamity is not the worst out there.

I went for The Last Mortal Bond. Been waiting for it, and I enjoy it so far. Not that I expected anything less.

I can't see them winning against Anomander Rake and Lady Envy though... Not unless they go atium, and they go for it fast.

I am, more or less, accounting for all these things. Unfortunately, my time is a little limited (and my partners in this seem a little too focused on the long run), so in the early stage I need to focus on something very generic, and work from there. A big selling point of the business is the data gathering and analysis aspect of it, which - once we have a good number of people using our products - should allow is to drastically increase customization and personalization. Ideally, years from now, we'd like to cover people from all ages, genders, body types, fitness levels, and goals, but we need a few stepping stones on the way there. So yes, I am considering everything I can think of, but I can't realistically target everyone in the beginning. So we'll probably go for the safe "males in their prime" demographic first, then expand to females, and then move to other age groups; the catering to varying intensities should kind of come for free on the way. As for how many people, not as many as I would've liked... I personally am staying away from results for another week or so, since I don't want early trends in the data to influence me, but we are still under a hundred, and that gives me the sads. All this is pretty much what I and my team are hoping to accomplish. As I explained above, we can't do everything at once, so our early goals are to just have something that is accurate, not wrong, and verified - if limited - and continuously build up from there. Being able to customize the living hell out of your workout routine is a very important aspect of what we are doing, and so is the ability to cater to virtually everyone, but it won't come quick (though we hope to make it come cheap - we are not in this to make millions, though that'd be nice, we are in this to make being healthy and fit as easy and painless as possible). What you are saying is more or less what we are aiming for. How long it will take us to get there, and how successful we will be... only time can tell.

The original plan was to create a replacement for personal trainers (along with a number of other products), but since that's a little too big, I am trying to find out which aspects of personal training, and in what forms, people want most.

Get out!

Let's see, what have I shelved since my last update... I did finish Jim C. Hines' Revisionary, the last (?) book in the Magic Ex Libris series. I feel pretty good about it - I liked the first two better, I think, but this and Unbound (the third book) were definitely solid. With the books I read I usually choose the worldbuilding or the characters as my favorite aspect, but with this one I may need to go with the... political side of things. Which is a really strange thing for me to say, but I did find Jim's idea of how things would go if a secret magical world suddenly came into the light. I liked that a lot. Oh, and I also loved the ending. I did finish Terry Pratchett's Raising Steam next. It was disappointing, and I hate saying that about any Pratchett book. I'll just link Pat Rothfuss' review, he is much better at articulating the problems with it (though he, being the better man, is more accepting of the book's flaws). More recently, I went through Green-eyed Vipers, a Powder Mage short story, part of the In the Field Marshal's Shadow anthology (I had read the rest of the anthology before). I am terrible at rating short stories, I just don't feel there is enough material in them for me to form an opinion, but it was a pleasant read. And finally, Ghosts of the Tristan Basin, also a Powder Mage story by Brian McClellan. This one, being a little longer, gave me more to say in terms of review, but it still boils down to it being pretty good. Nothing about it really stood out to me, but it was a really good read overall, though maybe not for people unfamiliar with the Powder Mage universe, or at least Taniel and Ka-Poel. I am debating between jumping into Brian Staveley's The Last Mortal Bond, Kameron Hurley's Empire Ascendant, and Jason Denzel's Mystic. I think I am leaning towards them in this order though.

None of us have much more than that. The Elantris Ars Arcanum suggests that Vax is a planet, or at least a place. My best guess has been that Ati though he was on/in Vax, something in Scadrial's Cognitive Realm made him think of it. Beyond that, we don't have anything.

Storms, I keep meaning to catch up on this year's Suvudu, and I keep forgetting! There were a few duos I am pretty excited about.

You are all handsome, and beautiful, and intelligent people. Unless you aren't people, in which case you are all handsome, beautiful, and intelligent whatever-you-are.

Should've put that down as an option somewhere, eh? Perhaps in conjunction with "Carrying Sanderson books from the bookstore," which can easily be written off as a high intensity endurance training.

A part of what I am trying to find out is what people use, so it will definitely help Thanks to everyone so far!

In a few words, I am working on a (research for a) startup, and because other people are unreliable and the only way to get something done is to do it yourself I would like 7-8 minutes of your time and ask you to fill a survey for me. It would help me a lot if I could get a bunch of people to do this (and will also save me quite a bit of money, but that's a long story). I can give you more details if you want them, but I don't want to bore you with them right now. I will say that it's all anonymous, if you care about that. So here's the link, if anyone would like to help out: http://goo.gl/forms/WpSqJbc1nV

They only play in the evening though, the Bands of Morning open for them.

Well, time bubbles (presumably) change spacetime itself, so the cork would be moving from an area of a given... density of spacetime, into an area whether it is thicker/thinner. It kind of makes sense that if spacetime itself is, for example, thinner, you would gain velocity relative to your original velocity. There is now less space you need to traverse, and so if preservation of energy is to still hold, you need to appear gain relative velocity.

Somebody actually asked a very similar question during the Austin Calamity signing event:
