Up the Mountain

July 10, 2011

Nancy Kress and I are in Taos Ski Valley, where the Taos Toolbox workshop will begin tomorrow. It’s lovely here.  It’s cool, unlike the 100-degree waterless desert— my home— that I left this afternoon.  The air is scented with pines.  And it rained thoroughly this evening— the first rain I’ve seen since early February. No […]

Expectations

July 9, 2011

  I’ve recently completed the video game L.A. Noire (sic), which has prompted some thoughts about audience expectations, and how to satisfy them— or at least mollify them, assuming that actual satisfaction turns out not to be possible. For those of you who haven’t somehow been swept up in the hype, L.A. Noire (sic) is […]

March of Time

July 7, 2011

I keep telling myself I need to post on this here blog, but then I keep saying, “I got all this other stuff to do, why don’t I do that first, and then do my blog post?”  Except that all this other stuff keeps growing, and the blog posts keep getting postponed. I don’t have […]

Low-tech High Tech

June 28, 2011

  Via Chris Mills, it’s the tale of FabFi’s contribution to the movement for Internet freedom sponsored by, among other things, the American government. The American effort, revealed in dozens of interviews, planning documents and classified diplomatic cables obtained by The New York Times, ranges in scale, cost and sophistication. Some projects involve technology that […]

Ebook Updates

June 27, 2011

  All three Maijstral books have been uploaded to Smashwords. Smashwords pretty much requires that books be submitted in Microsoft Word, a program I’ve never used because it was designed by aliens intent on world conquest.  But I’m better at Word by now, and I’m happy to report that my Smashwords .epub formats are now […]

Maijstral (Comedy is Hard)

June 20, 2011

I thought I’d write down some thoughts on the Maijstral books, in anticipation of their imminent release in e-formats. (And first of all, the matter of pronunciation.  I pronounce it My-STRAHL.  You are, however, welcome to pronounce the protagonist’s name any way you like.  I’ll know who you’re talking about.) I wrote these books pretty […]

Dad’s Day

June 19, 2011

So here it is Father’s Day.  And here’s my dad, a picture taken on a fishing trip before I was born. What to say about the man who nurtured me, supported me, worked hard to keep food on the table, kept me out of trouble, and helped to knock down Hitler? My dad wasn’t a […]
