Forgot to mention on Friday that over on Laptop Magazine there’s a fun post where I ask seven science fiction authors to name tech or software that makes them feel like they’re living in the future. I’m sure you can predict how many will say the iPhone, but not all of them did.
My own answer [...]
One of the eReaders I talked about a few weeks ago in my long post (which you need to read if you’re a writer, editor, or publisher) is now out. The enTourage eDGe dual screen eReader/Tablet has been extensively reviewed over at Laptop Magazine. Check itout, especially if you’re a student. It’s pretty cool, though [...]
Today’s burning question: if you wish to attract a sparkling vampire to your bed, does your nether region need to sparkle, too?
The answer may lie here, my friends. Do NOT click if you are not somewhere you can laugh really loud for a while. Or someplace that might object to shiny vaginas.
Read Cat Valente’s post. Or, if you are lazy, here’s the takeaway:
No one goes around suggesting that everyone should become their own autonomous cheesemakers and cheering the death of the cheese industry. Why? Because that would result in a lot of shitty cheese.
Exactly.
In a few hours the last of the Interfictions auctions will come to an end. Bidding closes on two around noon eastern time and then thereafter until around 7PM eastern. The last seven pieces are so beautiful and wonderful and amazing that I insist you bid! I’ve set a personal goal: I’d like to raise [...]
This auction ends tomorrow morning! The current bid is steep, but that’s because this is just so awesome. Think about how awesome this doll would look in your home. Think what the in-laws will say when you use it as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving dinner! You know you want to bid on this and win [...]
I know I will regret saying this, but someone has to challenge me on this auction. That bee is so cool! And it is based on Genevieve’s story. Doesn’t someone out there want to win this and give it to her for the holidays? I know she has many fans. All of them need to [...]
Do you knit? Do you know someone who knits? Are you planning to knit something for a loved one this holiday season? Then go, right now, to IAFAuctions and bid on this yarn. It is knittable and it is fancy and awesome. It must needs be knitted into something cool and I demand that people [...]
Over on Tor.com I’ve got a piece up priasing FOX for its decision to cancel Dollhouse. I know, a bunch of you will disagree. A whole bunch of you won’t, though! I hope you’ll join me in supporting FOX at this difficult time. I wonder if I should grab up the URL dontsavedollhouse.com? Because there [...]
This is my non-short and non-silly post about the Interfictions auction.
For those of you kind of new to my blog, I’m a member of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting and encouraging art and artists that exist outside of or between borders. I’ve been a fairly active member for a while, mainly [...]
I swear there is a longer post about this coming, but I wanted to point out that the Interfictions auction is happening and this amazing and fantastic piece is ending tonight and I love Kate to death but if someone doesn’t challenge her even a little bit I will be mad. Go to the bottom [...]
First, N. K. Jemisin has a story up on Clarkesworld that I heart mightily called Non-Zero Probabilities. This was the story she read a while back at Bluestockings and I’ve always liked it quite a lot. Go and read and then tell her how awesome it is!
Second, my Clarion West mate Charlie Allery placed second [...]
I knew it! Only cranky old people would ever prefer SF to Sci-Fi! See? Change is good, people. Embrace ittttttt.
(In case you’re not aware, the post behind that link is meant to be funny. But I’m as welling as he is to engage in smart-alec young person vs. crotchety old person, RUMBLE!!!)
Over on Tor.com I collated the stories, novels, and authors suggested in my ABW and FeministSF posts on mindblowing SF by women and POC. The list is quite long but is far from exhaustive. If you want to add more, do! Or just co-sign.
I’m feeling right now that this post on ABW is the only thing I’ll have to say on heath care for a while. I hate these stupid death panel people and others yelling about socialized health care who have never felt terror in their lives due to lack of health care and money.
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm famous on the internet, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.
