    I’m about a day behind on things here because of my lack of Internet at home. Only a few more days of this to go. Things should be back to normal on Monday or Tuesday so bear with me. Busy day at work yesterday. On the moving front, I did a few more change of…

  • Metro delays

    22 Jul 2008 » 2 min read

    It is ironic that in my last week as a regular metro rider, I had the single worst delay I’ve experienced since I began riding Metro almost 6 years ago. I left the office just after 5 PM yesterday (I had a training session I had to attend all afternoon) and headed down to the…

    Saturday was my second and final day at Readercon, and it was just as good as the first day. I attended several session today, including a fascinating one on rewrites and revisions. The panel included (among others) Michael Swanwick and James Patrick Kelly. I attended a couple of readings as well. The first reading was…

  • Writing

    19 Jul 2008 » 1 min read about Writing & Publishing

    Readercon has reminded me that I am a writer and that writers write. A few days ago, I did some work on a story that I’ve been playing around with, a kind of future history that begins in the very near future and progresses farther and farther down the line. I did about 1,000 words,…

  • Readercon 2008, Part 1

    19 Jul 2008 » 4 min read about Science Fiction

    I was up at around 5:30 AM in order to catch a flight to Boston for Readercon. For all of my non-sf friends, Readercon is a s.f. convention not quite like any other. As the name alludes to, it is almost exclusively about written science fiction. It is also attended by the Best of the…

    Up at 6 AM. I noticed that the old TV, DVD player, microwave, and a few other items were removed from the trash pile overnight. None of them work right (and the microwave doesn’t work at all) but maybe whoever took them can fix them and get some use out of them. I forgot to…
