Anyone out there really familiar with Atlanta, GA? Emily and I will be there Friday night on our way through driving down to Florida, splitting the drive in half. I’m curious about any killer eating/activities for the both of us around the downtown area.

Hmm, Blogger has changed around a bit. I’m still in the process of trying to wrest away tobiasbuckell.com from a domain name group/webhost group that I signed it up with who won’t let me transfer it. Bastards. Because after that, there should be some big webdesign changes around here…

So, I made the hardest technical choice I’ve made in a long, long time, and am now owner of a new iBook (wimped out of the powerbook 12″).

Philadelphia Worldcon (Milphil) was my first worldcon (01). It was a great experience, and a great first worldcon. I just opened the mail and found a reimbursement check from them. As I won’t get paid next month, I have to say, the timing could not be more perfect. A wonderful surprise.
Thanks guys!

Friends crashing at the apartment for the wedding will be arriving in 5 hours or so. Emily and I are running around getting things ready. It begins!
Now off to go clean a bit up a bit more.

Last night I got an email from an editor interested in taking my story ‘Smooth Talking’ after a rewrite (structure changes in the beginning and then smoothing). Unless the editor pops in and says otherwise, I’ll keep mum to the place until the rewrite and contract are done, just to stay professional about it, but [...]

Just finished reading Smart Mobs, another excellent book (amazing how quickly the ‘to read’ pile dwindles when you get rid of cable).
Cory Doctorow gets a lot of quotes in that one.
What I particularly found interesting were the descriptions of futures where we have augmented reality, because at that point I wonder what the social impact [...]

One of the religion and history profs forwarded this Tom Tomorrow cartoon link to me. With tongue firmly in cheek I present it to everyone else

Guns, Germs, and Steel is an excellent book. I just finished it last night, and highly reccomend it for understanding how and why civilizations and things are the way they are today.
