Realtor Time
May 31st 2006 at 8:46 am
After several weeks of having shown the house to some individuals, none of whom jumped or moved forward on the house, we decided to bring in a realtor. We have some cleaning as the past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of me being gone and it being finals week for Emily.
Hopefully this will help […]
Marcon Report
May 29th 2006 at 11:03 pm
While I wasn’t hanging with all the cool kids at Wiscon, I did drive down to Columbus to speak on a few panels and have dinner with Charlie Finlay.
Saturday Emily and I drove down and I spoke on the books that drew me into the field, as well as the books that recently geeked me […]
Paul Jessup Review
May 26th 2006 at 11:33 pm
Paul Jessup kinda liked the book but not really over here.
And in the end, even though this story is being considered a breakthrough by some (mostly dealing with color of the characters skin and the locales), I see it asking no big questions or taking any real chances. There are no philosophies below the surface, […]
Blogging vs Writing Habits
May 24th 2006 at 1:12 pm
Melly talks about blogging vs writing habits.
My blogging habits right now are better than my writing habits. Written 101 paid blogging posts this month, pretty much daily. I try to take Sundays off (not from any religious impulse, but just to have a day to muck about) and pre-load my Saturday posts. I’m still only […]

Grenada’s Chinese Village
May 23rd 2006 at 2:25 pm
Over the last couple years China has been making overtures to various Caribbean islands, a way to increase its ability to play in the US’s backyard, and a way to increase its global reach in general.
One interesting side effect is projects like the one where Chinese corporations are helping build Grenada’s national stadium. As a […]

Chimp-karate
May 23rd 2006 at 12:10 pm
Greg van Eekhout forwarded me this clip of a chimpanzee that has been taught karate.
Should a fierce and strong creature like this be taught how to easily smash our bones and overthrow the yoke of humanity with a mere finger twitch? Do we need Chimp-Neo? Will this be the first step towards Charlton Heston kneeling […]
