Again, time to close some tabs – here’s what I’ve been reading this morning. Optimus Prime iPod Dock. Autobots, transform and rock out. DS Daily: The New Book? Interesting observation, this. Endicott Studio: The Art of Pat Lillich. Nifty, creepy sculptures reminiscent of Froud. Wired: Strange DIY Film Hits Sundance. We Are The Strange is […]

I’m trying to determine whether I can work this into the THESIS or not, but either way this is pretty cool. Fans of the long-running Stargate SG-1 already know that Sci-Fi canned the series last year, which means that this will be the show’s 10th and final season. Sad, but 10 years is a hell […]

Courtesy of James McNally’s newly-relaunched Consolation Champs (and c’mon, James, make with the redesign already – standard templates are teh suck) comes this somewhat depressing new look at blogebrity. Kineda used Technorati to reach its new definitions for what makes an “A-list” weblog, a “B-List” weblog, and so on. These new criteria are as follows: […]

People who have read drafts of my novel, Bones of the Angel, will be familiar with Caliban “Callie” Davies, the paranoiac techno-geek who comes to the aid of my heroes. Today I sat down to get some writing done before supper and banged out about 730 words of… Something. This isn’t how I expected the […]

Over at Making Light, Teresa Nielsen Hayden posts some modified entries to a writer’s Devil’s Dictionary: Self-publishing: How authors who are slow learners find out about marketing and distribution. Small Press: A publishing house that’s only as good as the people running it. (This applies to publishing houses of any size.) My time with Inkblots […]
