The Symphony of Science
Edited (at Kat’s suggestion) to add: No, really, I think you’ll like these!
Now I have to write it…
So yeah, that bit I posted on Halloween contained more than idle hope about working with Tor.com. To the grindstone!
(But, Dickens? Thanks for setting the bar in the ionosphere, Bob…)
One pound, eight ounces of steampunk
October is steampunk month at my once (and future, I hope…I’d love to work with them again!) publisher Tor.com, which is tres cool, even though I’m not the sort of person who dresses up, even for Halloween, and
I like my technology solid state wherever possible. But I just returned from
my parents’ house with
this beauty:
My grandfather was a carpenter by profession and my dad was one by avocation, and thanks to the latter’s desire to shed as much weight as possible while packing things for a move that’s happening sooner than we all expected, this level is now in my toolbox. Actually, it’s not. There’s a reason modern versions are made of aluminum, but the wrought iron, brass, and steel cleaned up beautifully. It still works, and not only as decoration, so we can now monitor the status of our mantel with style. Once and future style.

I just saw the movie. (Thanks to 826Michigan.) You should too.
T-Minus signing at the National Air and Space Museum: Saturday Sept. 26, 2-4pm
Please come see Friendship 7, Gemini IV, Apollo 11, and me on Saturday the 26th at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. I’ll be signing T-Minus there from 2-4pm. I suppose I could be more excited and honored by this but I’m not sure how.
The National Book Festival is also happening that day, outside on the National Mall itself, so if you’re heading over plan to leave yourself some extra time to get around and look around.
