Dude! Check out the new header for this blog! Isn’t it the awesomest header image you’ve ever seen? A few days ago, I got my hands on this cd full of cool arabesque patterns for graphic design.

CONduit 2009 mp3s
I was fortunate enough to attend CONduit 2009 this weekend, up in Salt Lake. It was a ton of fun, and very educational and inspiring as well; I’ll sum up more of my thoughts and impressions from the con later. I recorded most of the panels I attended, and I’ve linked to the full mp3s… Continue reading CONduit 2009 mp3s
Spin by Robert Charles Wilson

The outer colonies of Earth have rebelled and… Continue reading Downbelow Station by C. J. Cherryh

I remember how it was when I started–I was still just a hobby writer, with a nebulous interest in getting published someday but without any real goals or… Continue reading The end of an era
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Welcome to Mars, a magical world of ancient ruins like giant glass chess sets and canals of wine and sandy desert seas. A world inhabited by golden eyed people who can telepathically project hallucinations–some of them still live up in the hills. A desolate, empty world, the next frontier for a new generation of pioneering… Continue reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Sabriel by Garth Nix
Sabriel doesn’t know it, but her father is more than just a powerful necromancer; he is a key in the political intrigue of the Old Kingdom–the land beyond the wall. When he interrupts her class at Wyverly college by sending a hand–an enslaved spirit–from beyond the fourth gate of Death to drop off his sword… Continue reading Sabriel by Garth Nix
