Spirals of Doom

 moonvoice grumbles about inking all those spirals.

Yeah ... I bet God/dess said something similar about galaxies.

Elusive Neighbors

I was fascinated by this post about voluntarily isolated tribes. The estimate runs as high as 100 groups who resist outside contact. I think this is very prudent of them, and that they should be left strictly alone and never harassed. Indigenous people have a very consistent (not quite universal) tendency to get shafted by more powerful cultures around them. Keeping out of reach can mean keeping alive.

*eyes climate change warily*

They might even manage that indefinitely if the developed world manages to saw off the branch it's standing on. Survival of the sneakiest has prevailed before. Actually, that was a First Mammal trick.

How Science Begins

Doug tipped me to this marvelous cartoon.

Yep.  That's how science often begins.  You spend insane amounts of money to discover how to do something tiny and useless.

... and then someone figures out how to make an improvement, and then another.

Poetry by Stephen Wilson

This popped up in the SFPA list today, from Stephen Wilson.  Yummy.

I have a new poem up at a new on line mag:
http://scarletzine.wordpress.com/

Also, three recordings of some of my previously published work. Some of
the other recordings are pretty cool too (I was mesmerized by "Ticking
Clock" by Stephen J. Smith).

This is a nonpaying market, something that I don't normally do, but I've
know the editor from having been published in Romantics Quarterly
several years ago when I was first starting out. Also, you'll notice
that my bio is way outdated (this project started a few years ago).
Anyhow, hope you enjoy.

Surname Maps

janetmiles and my partner Doug tipped me to this cool resource showing surname maps.  So, if you're a writer and you want to name an ordinary character from one of these places, you can pick a surname from the relevant place and it will fit.  This is a very discreet and effective trick with local color.
