June sucked

‘Nuff said, really. June was the suck. I promptly sent out my rejected story to a new market, but that’s about it. I do still have two stories in progress, and am contemplating a TV script and a potential novel (meep!), but basically the month was spent on...

Check it out!

The divine Misha gets the credit she deserves for her awesome write-up of the Campbell Award Smackdown at Wiscon. The Smackdown itself was a truly great moment in SF literary history, and one I hope becomes an annual tradition. How can you resist Tim Pratt, Jay Lake,...

Adonis

In August, 1991, I was a graduate art student in Texas. I’d recently acquired a tortoiseshell kitten from a little girl sitting in front of the local Kroger, a cute little turbocharged thing I named Persephone. I got her in the break between classes, and when I...

I know I said this before, but…

…I think this story is an Analog story. Yes, I know I said that about “Corporate Oversight” and Dr. Schmidt proved me wrong, but this time I really mean it. Not the nightmare story. “Grandfather Paradox.” The nightmare story is not loving...

Homeward bound

Fangirlishness

I just got to fangirl Tim Pratt about “Little Gods” and “Annabelle’s Alphabet,” and Greg van Eekhout over “Will You Be An Astronaut?” *squee!* I really love “Little Gods.” I found it right after my cat died, and it...

Tiptree auction and par-tay!

Ellen Klages was the emcee at the Tiptree Auction, and I’m afraid Jen and I sat on the front row and made a bit of a spectacle of ourselves. Ellen had lost a bet with GoH Eleanor Arnason and was dressed in a chicken suit, but Jen and I got the chicken suit when...

Wiscon

I have to say, Wiscon is of the good. Where else can I get my shoulders rubbed by Jed Hartman? I proposed marriage, but he said that would cost more tickets. Dammit! Must go eat. 🙂

Like you care…

I rewrote the datediff function in the submission tracker and thought PHP geeks might enjoy it. I find it very sad that PHP does not have a built-in datediff function like ASP or Cold Fusion. /*The variable $date1 comes from the database, and is converted to unix...
