Let me start by letting you know that I received an SOS from Amanda earlier this morning. There was something about it being morning, no coffee and and a raging headache. Let's just say she wasn't a happy camper. So, since I happened to be up -- sort of -- and, as she said, looking... Continue Reading →
Hi, everyone. Apologies for my lack of reply to last week’s UFO post, but I was abducted by magical Sidhe folk living in the forest behind my house. As always, time spent in the Sidhe realm follows different rules. Thankfully I did not emerge a day or so later having aged to a ripe old... Continue Reading →
Well, to my considerable surprise, we had a whole week go by without any new acts of gratuitous stupidity from TOFKASFWA. For this I give thanks. I'm not sure I can keep up with the new improved shitstorm schedule even as an observer (I can't call myself disinterested. I am interested, even if it's only... Continue Reading →
There was a time children’s books were pious and goody two shoes. They were almost incredibly boring. I read so many books in which the characters were goody-goody that I was primed and ready for Tom Bailey By Thomas Bailey Aldrich because it was “Story of a bad boy.” I also loved Tom Sawyer because,...

I promise, there will be a post later today. At least I hope there will be. I even read the article I plan to base my post around. But let's just say it has caused me to think harder than my poor early morning brain is ready to do. Maybe it's because I'm so used... Continue Reading →
Okay before I turn you over to the Zamzummims, once more unto Numbers… Let me just explain something that seem to still pass a few people by. A probability is just the expression of the likelihood of something occurring. It works real well on large samples. In individuals you actually have to apply that weird... Continue Reading →
*You guys know we talked about doing a shared world. We went with a whole continent so that Dave can have his jungle and I can have my big city with diners. We're working on a contract which we should have in a week or two (and yes, we'll post it for your enlightenment... Continue Reading →
What is it about the past month or six? We've had front row seats to the foolishness that is SFWA -- more than once. We're standing in line waiting to buy popcorn before Vox finally schools SFWA on the foolishness of their ways. This week we've seen a publisher cancel a contract that had already...

As the UFO flew past the ISS earlier in the week, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy was quick of the mark. He caught the object on video as it passed. Of course it did not stay unidentified for long – Russian ground controllers identified it as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module. See the... Continue Reading →
Fear not, this is not an attempt to recreate the blogsplosion that happened last week when I snarked myself silly. Not that I didn't enjoy it (troll smacking can be so much fun), I just doubt my ability to make lightning strike again. That said, I'd ask what the board of TOFKASFWA was thinking, except...
