I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo just wants to bang on de drum all day

Catherine Schaff-Stump on being a resilient writer panel from Wiscon. Lots of good points in there.

Tobias Buckell points out Science in My Fiction Contest is now open for its second annual run.

Practical tips for writing a book. Haven't read this, yet. But it looked interesting. (can't remember who pointed this out last night, sorry)

The gas miners of Uranus. Wow. I wonder if Lando know about this? The other way to go is that how far are we away from atmosphere scoops (where the ship skims the upper atmosphere of gas giants for its fuel)? (Grokked from Jay Lake)

Well, if they can prove their case, Edwards shouldn't just lose his law license, he should go to jail. In this, the "case" is the money he used was actually campaign money. If the prosecution can't tie the money the donors gave as "political contributions," then they have no case. They could prove it to a grand jury, but can they meet the higher standards of a criminal jury?

I wonder if we can call them "Death Panels" when it only involves throwing as many people as possible off the health care rolls to reduce costs. Oh. Wait. No. It's another Republican governor doing it. It can't be "Death Panels" if it's a conservative. It must be, "Running Government Like a Business" again. (Grokked from Jay Lake)
