  • A Fine and Piquant Snark

    A Fine and Piquant Snark

    My dear First Reader is at his curmudgeonly best today over at the Otherwhere Gazette. He felt the need to thank some people in the annual hugohaha since it spun up into a hurricane from it’s usual dust devil sized impact. The Sad Puppies really do need to thank some people who are not of…

  • The Final Stretch

    The Final Stretch

    I’ve been debating something these last few days, and with great reluctance, I’m taking a step I really didn’t want to. But the alternative is to risk harming my school work, and that’s not a choice, either. I’m going to step away from the blog until Finals. There will be daily content – I’m scheduling…

  • Musing on Muses

    Musing on Muses

    Mentally I’m sitting here with the sound of an empty brain resounding in my ears. Wubbuda-wubbeda… I haven’t had coffee yet, which may or may not help. I joke about it, but I can and do go without caffeine often enough. I haven’t on the other hand, had the momentum to do anything other than…

  • Linky Goodness

    Linky Goodness

    Red Shoes In the department of really, really bad ideas, there is this one: to force young men who are training to become leaders to wear high heels for a mile-long walk. I’m sorry, but this has nothing at all to do with ‘walking in women’s shoes’ because a sensible woman isn’t going to walk…

  • Stark Contrasts

    Stark Contrasts

    One thing is clear:  a lot of people involved with the Hugo Awards care very much about the award.  One other thing is also clear: a lot of people not involved with the award also seem to care very much.   And another thing is clear, at least to me:  much, if not all of…

  • Spring Break

    Spring Break

    Monday has dawned, and with it, the official start of my Spring Break. While I’d like to say this means time off, the reality is that I have a list will have a list very soon that should keep me busy all week long. This weekend was almost overly exciting in that I was jugging…

  • Saturday Morning Tabs

    Saturday Morning Tabs

    I’m doing a link round-up this morning, from what I have on my open tabs this fine morning. I’ll skip the Organic Chemistry homework, unless you really want me to demonstrate an aromaticity problem? No? Ok, then… Mad Genius Club – You too can help us assemble the greatest hits of how-to publish, write, and…

  • This and That

    This and That

    Firstly, the reblog of today’s Mad Genius didn’t work on first attempt, so here’s the link. My mother, Kathleen Sanderson, was good enough to send me an article on her thoughts concerning animals in space. It’s pretty neat, and will be useful for future writing in science fiction for me – and others, I think.…

  • Testing, Testing

    Testing, Testing

    *tap, tap…* Is this thing on? Because I’m not sure I have it working yet… Oh. Hi there! I’m just taking the new improved backend for a spin. That sounds bad, doesn’t it? Well, after spending a good part of my day moving the site over to a paid hosting account, and having a stressful…

  • Into the Wild Blue

    I’m off to LTUE today. Tomorrow you can expect the regularly scheduled snippet, Friday the First Reader has a happy book review (shock!) and Saturday you’ll likely hear about the convention to that point… full AAR will likely be up Monday. Sunday will be a Schlock Mercenary Food Feature. In the meantime, I went and…

  • Enter Title Here…

    I had some fun over at the Mad Genius Club taking some time in the Transmogrifier to talk about what Hard Science fiction is, or isn’t. Click on over and spend some time with me clicking inside-outside the box. We tend to think of science fiction as the realm of outer space, but science covers…

  • Reading, Writing, and…

    Good Morning. I’m up at Mad Genius Club this morning talking about the predicted decline and death of ebooks, and why I think that’s premature. I am also asking for help and recommendations with a tablet and apps for my sister Juniper. This is a special case, as what we need for her is essentially…
