So I have this theory: every country has made a contribution to world cuisine, one style of simple, casual cooking that defines it. The US’s is fried things on sticks.

Recent Reads: Expedition To Earth. Continuing a read of Arthur C Clarke's short fiction, this time from the late 1940s and early 1950s. A mix of well-deserved classics, like The Sentinel and clunkers that fail to make a mark. Early works that show a writer still learning his way.

Recent Reads: Unexploded Remnants. Elaine Gallagher's novella sends Alice, the last human, down a myriad wormholes as she seeks to save a sentient weapon, generations out of time. A chase across the stars, on stepping stones to infinities. How to end a war that's been forgotten?

I still have odd bits of LJ flash fiction that keep noodling me to be something bigger... like the second Silicon Valley Magic story or the Midden Moon snippets...

This is the thing that makes me most hopeful about the economy and how we can maybe unfuck things, by removing friction and groove-wearing parts. Like a four day week that means you spend less time and money hiring refuse collectors and more collecting refuse do now you can look at the next thing

Hyper-specific trade shows are becoming a thing again. I just got a press release for the European Pizza Show. (I guess Chicago Deep Pan Pizzas are not allowed.)

Great white sharks can jump higher than the average house. This is because of powerful muscles, a sleek fusiform shape, and the fact that most houses cannot jump.

It needs to be a high-speed line, with bigger gaps between numbers, if you're going to reduce congestion. Like HS2 was meant to be!

Yeah. At least my troll only accuses me of taking bribes and being a fake journalist on his own web site. It's easy enough to ignore.

I keep thinking of that Joe Haldeman short story where an alien race apologises by coming up with these ever more complicated apocalyptic stories that end "All die. O the embarrassment."
