I <3 Goodreads. I like categorizing my books and tracking them; it appeals to my unused library degree. Also, much as they suspect, my friends have similar reading tastes. Here’s my author page on Goodreads. Most of the stories are available via the...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled computer geekery to bring you tea. I’ve been really getting into tea lately. Also, caffeine abuse is a vital component of geek culture, and tea is relatively neglected (unless you’re steampunk). So. Loose leaf, my...

Lunchtime and right before I leave work are apparently not-so-much times for writing. I think it’s because, as Douglas Adams said, “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” I’ve been resisting writing in the mornings because I’m...

This is one of them. I was last at work on December 21. I’m not expected back until after New Year’s. You may now hate me. 😉 Sadly, this is not ending up being insane amounts of writing and working out. But I had a very busy year, and probably need the...

I got it from Jen; can I blame her for my posting a quiz? 😉 http://www.scifi.com/sfw/column/sfw13339.html I got an 80. “A score of 66 or higher—You’re a E.E. ‘Doc’ Smith, Larry Niven, Greg Bear, Vernor Vinge, Charles Stross or Nancy...
