coalescentFrench writer disciplined for writing a book about slacking off. I like the chapter headings.
Some casting tidbits for the second season of Carnivale.
A couple more I, Robot pieces: Robyn Asimov says it's ok, and this article is either, depending on how cynical you are, hopelessly rose-tinted or making a case for the film not being a complete loss.
The people you find at cons...
I have a Google news alert set up to search for 'Stephen Baxter'. I'm not ashamed of this, although sometimes I think Google has already learnt how to search parallel universes.
Most recently read: 'Volunteers' by Alex Irvine. A future history from the point of view of a teenage boy prone to digression, and to just plain telling things in the wrong order. More interesting than engaging, I found, but it makes some nice points about the costs and reasons for personal sacrifice, with the protagonist at one extreme, and (most of) the colonists around him at the other.
