    Well, I never. Looks like you'll be in the standby line at the premiere.

    The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

    My heroine is also a retired air force pilot with a cybernetic hand, and has a cable-access cooking show; I didn't want to alienate any of my potential audience. (I thought about giving her Tourette's, but that just jeopardizes the PG-13 rating when we talk movie rights.) As to the point of the...

    The Worst Way To Defeat An Enemy

    Fine. My series of line-dancing-detective-in-post-apocalyptic-17th-century-Paris novels are well underway. They will be forever known as the beginning of Cowboy de Belle Epochalypse Noir. Not that I particularly want to criticize Wells.

    What's the most epic SFF story ever, and why?

    The Bicentennial Man (by Isaac Asimov, of course) is a beautiful, compelling story about the innocence, the yearning, the potential, and the ultimate tragedy of the human condition. That Asimov writes such a complete story with such Hemingwayesque succinctness is a true triumph of literature. I...

    From the "Hide the Evidence" Files…

    I realize that this kind of thing has probably always gone on, but for some reason I find this case very disturbing. Concessions of common sense to appease fundamentalists really stick in my craw. And how did there get to be six million pentecostals in Kenya in the first place? I thought the...

    From the "Hide the Evidence" Files…

    Religious fundamentalists are pressuring Kenya's government to have its national museum move its rather comprehensive display of hominid fossils to the back room. http://www.livescience.com/othernews/061203_richard_leakey.html Evidently they don't mesh well with the pentecostal view of the...

    Favourite Futurama Quote!

    Fry: I wish they'd just wipe out humanity and get it over with. It's the waiting I can't stand. Leela: That's stupid! You know, this isn't that funny to read, but the way Leela's line is delivered, that one had me laughing out loud.

    NASA formally unveils plans for going back to the Moon!

    I think there's a lump in your science, there, Lou. Still, one day, some people are going to have to get off of this rock and find another place out there. But then, what if there were no other place, I wonder. Could the remnants of mankind live on in perpetuity on a gigantic spaceship with...

    Conqueror Worms, Brian Keene

    I wonder if the story bears any similarities to Swamp Thing #11 (1974) The Conqueror Worms.
