One early morning during my undergraduate days, I walked into a Russian History class to find TANSTAAFL written on the board. Our professor stood in one corner of the class, watching as we staggered and lurched to our chairs and prepared for the lecture. As the other students looked at what he'd written on the board,...

The Road to Indie
It would be so easy to do anther post about Hugos this morning. In fact, I considered it, especially after seeing how one of the editors posted a diatribe of sorts on the Tor site. However, since I know Kate is fisking the situation Thursday and because Dave did such a great job looking at... Continue Reading →

And they invented this stuff called democracy, which meant one man one vote, unless... Continue Reading →
The Glamour’s Worn Thin
by Amanda S. Green I'm a little late posting this morning because I've been going round and round about what to write.

Kindle Fire, Plagiarism and Other Thoughts
by Amanda S. Green Let me start with a quick apology. This post is going to be a bit late going up because, sigh, I forgot. It may take another week for me to get used to being here on Tuesdays. Of course, it doesn't help that, for the first time in a long while,... Continue Reading →
