Yes! At last I’ve scored the final ingredient. Now all that remains is to assemble the pieces I have painstakingly gathered together. Then launch The Process. Next – World Domination! No, wait – that’s when I finish The Dinosaur Lords. Still, I’m really stoked about this Secret Project. Once it gets going I’ll see how my litte cellphone camera [...] Santa Fe journalist and music maven Steve Terrell clued me into what he rightly termed this revoltin’ development from eMusic: they’re raising their prices. Yes, now. What a bright idea! So I was moved to write them the following in response: Dear eMusic: While I’ve enjoyed and championed you service for years despite faults such as dubious tech [...] Yippee-ki-yay!
For all you Princess Bride geeks out there. You know who you are. I’ll spare you the (in)appropriate WAV link. For now. Instead enjoy the great xkcd. And click the image to see the strip full-size. So during the week (when I should have been doing productive things) various items on the Web caught [...] For years when traveling I’ve not paid much attention to the flight attendants’ spiel about using your seat cushions for flotation in case of a water landing. Aside from the fact it’s boring, there isn’t any such thing as a jetliner making a safe water landing. They usually wind up like that hijacked Ethiopian [...] Does anybody else find this, ah, disturbing? Wired.com informs us that Drillers Accidentally Create First Live Magma Observatory. That’s right: workers at a geothermal site in Hawai’i accidentally busted into a pool of live magma. Which, as we all know, is lava that has yet to come out. What could possibly go wrong? Oh. In other, totally, [...] Updated, 8-25-08 – Quick one … I’m home to take a break after doing a reading and signing. Way too tired. Though I headed home just before 11 last night I have to tend to various things after I get home, so didn’t get to sleep for a bit. Got a couple hours off and need [...] Holy carp! It’s dark out there, people. I was driving north about half an hour ago after seeing Hellboy II with some friends (good movie, not great) when suddenly the streetlights went out. So did most others. Some lights still remained on – generator-powered, I’m guessing. My part of town is really black. Eerie. Not so [...] Bastille Day. There’s a holiday we can still get behind. The All-Star Break is upon us in baseball, and tonight for electronic wallpaper I have on the Home-Run Derby. While I love baseball I’m not terribly interested in the Home-Run Derby, except inasmuch as it means ESPN is finally going to stop running its terrifying station [...] I just learned by email that Jack Speer died overnight. Jack was a member of First Fandom – the pioneers! – a mainstay of the Albuquerque Science Fiction Society, and a friend. He and his wife Ruth, who survives him, played gracious hosts to many a pleasant pre-Bubonicon party. Sad news. Fandom in general and our Albuquerque [...] There’s never a bad time to learn more actual history. What better day than Memorial Day to cut through some of the propaganda we’re inundated with from birth onward? Thanks to Sheldon Richman. |
