Mystery Pic

June 17, 2009

I was looking through the photo archives yesterday and found this. Which brings us to today’s puzzler. A genuine no-prize to the first person who tells me what this is. And— just for the record— “a leftover piece of Sixties psychedelia” is not the correct answer.

Watching My Uncompleted Novel Go Down in Flames

June 15, 2009

Here we have a video of an Iranian paramilitary before and after he fired randomly into a crowd of protestors, killing at least one person. (Well, they did set fire to his building.) We can see his face. There are people watching this video who probably know where he lives, and who his parents and […]

The Revolution, Televised

June 15, 2009

The revolution will not only be televised, it will be downloaded, remixed, Youtubed, Twittered, and set to a soundtrack by the Moody Blues. (Okay, I couldn’t bring myself to link to that last one.)

It’s tasty, it’s ridiculously easy, and it’s a lot easier to clean up than if you used your grill’s rotisserie attachment. But there are drawbacks as well.

June 10, 2009

Micro-lensing may have shown that a star in the Andromeda Galaxy has a planet six times the size of Jupiter.The advantage of microlensing is that it works best for more distant objects, so it’s ideal for planet hunting in other galaxies. In […]

Two More Appearances For Your Pleasure

June 10, 2009

I seem to be everywhere online these days. First, there’s an interview with me on Tor.com, wherein John Joseph Adams and I discuss This Is Not a Game. And next, TINAG is reviewed by Paul Raven on authors-books.com. I feel we should read This Is Not a Game as a genuine hybrid, an effort to […]

Extreme Shepherding

June 10, 2009

Playing Pong with, well, sheep. And doing many other things with sheep, all involving Samsung LEDs. It’s a clever viral marketing campaign. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying the show.

June 10, 2009

This Is Not a Game can inspire you to fix your computer! Or so Zachdude reports over on My iPC. Getting your computer fixed is clearly one of the side benefits of owning the novel. More benefits will be revealed in time: clearly you need to get your copy now, if you haven’t already.
