For anyone who cares, Peter Hamilton is supposed to be publishing the first novel of the Void Trilogy in summer ’07. Yay for us. Hopefully, he will have scaled back a bit from the grand overarching craziness that was Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained. They were both wayyyyy too long and complex. I believe that …

Sick as Proverbial Pooch
I have a nasty cold. It started on Friday last and by Saturday I was down for the count. The couch and I became very close friends. I didn’t sleep during the day much, so I watched a lot of movies and TV. Here’s the count, plus my evaluation. The Guardian. Kevin Costner and Aashton …

Frak!
In case you don’t watch Battlestar Galactica, “Frak” is a tv-happy euphemism for F**K. There, now you’re more educated that you were. Never let it be said that reading the NY Times is without merit.
