Just a reminder that Orbit has put all ebooks of This Is Not a Game on sale for $2.99, but that the sale should end on March 1.  So if you want to take advantage of this generous offer, the Clock on the Clubhouse Wall is telling you that you have only a few hours […]

Owl. Pussycat.

February 27, 2012

This really isn’t the go-to blog for cute animal videos, but this one is so extraordinary that once I saw it on al-Zorra’s site, I had to share it with you.

PayPal Puts the Screws on Erotica

February 27, 2012

I’ve always thought that PayPal was a useful service, and regretted the fact that they crashed every time I tried to log onto them.  (Even when I tried to logon through other people’s computers, they crashed.  It’s not the computer, it’s me.  I am cursed.) Be that as it may, I’m not so sorry anymore […]

Amazoniana

February 25, 2012

Our friends at Amazon have been in the news. First off is the fallout from their quarrel with IPG, the country’s second-largest book distributor.  Amazon tried to renegotiate a better deal for IPG’s ebooks, IPG declined to budge, and now all IPG’s ebooks are no longer available for Kindle. Because IPG’s list is long on […]

I Am Nook’d

February 24, 2012

I just noticed that ebooks of The Praxis, The Sundering, and Conventions of War have been made available via Barnes & Noble. When did that happen? I had been grumped that they weren’t available for my loyal Nook users, and now I need grump no more.

What? Me Again?

February 23, 2012

  If you don’t feel there’s enough me on this blog, there’s even more me over on SF Signal, where I’ve written an essay about writing, about gaming, about writing gaming, and about the kind of games writers play. Enjoy.

Reviews Too Late: The Eagle

February 21, 2012

I finally got around to seeing The Eagle, which was one of two films released in 2011 that dealt with the disappearance of Legio IX Hispania north of Hadrian’s Wall sometime around 117 CE.  (I offer a brief review of the other film here.) Which just goes to show you that when it’s Legio IX […]

Meet the Billy D

February 20, 2012

I’m back from D.C. (where I gave a talk on Internet culture to an international audience with more credentials than even I can shake a stick at), but I’m jetlagged and feeling unmotivated and uncommunicative, so instead of me talking, I’ll let History do it, and introduce you to the most incompetent warship in the […]

Where’s Walter?

February 17, 2012

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve left home and currently am in an Undisclosed Location. I don’t want to say where I am, but if you’ll look at the accompanying photo of innocuous cherry blossoms, you will find that I have inserted a clue into the illustration from which the clever among you […]
