I was reading an article about the Phillipines and the trouble they’ve had with the fighting there. It’s sad. But here is the thing that bugged me, the fighters are the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

I wrote a few weeks ago about how much I’d fallen out of love with the process of buying music, and a few posts down I posted about Apple’s new music service.

Awesome reviewing goodness…Pamela Sargent has a super review of Mojo: Conjure Stories up at Scifiweekly:…one of the particular pleasures of this anthology is discovering eloquent new or unfamiliar voices. “Death’s Dreadlocks” by Tobias S.

Thanks for all the posts below. I am here on Kelly’s Island at a 10 day novel writing workshop. Awesome stuff with awesome people. I got very sick at the start, just recovering.
I’m typing this from the island’s library (open from 5-7pm), so I doubt I’ll be able to keep up much.

When the […]
