Odds, Ends, A Few Moose, An Interview, And Superpowers

Posted on January 8, 2013January 8, 2025 by eidolon

I just saw this on my Twitter feed, via @doctorow: on-board video of a quadcopter buzzing a Norwegian moose.  Let’s all reflect on that for a moment: there was a moose, in the woods, and it was buzzed by a remote-controlled quadcopter.  This is the modern world, people.  It’s like something out of a Charlie Stross novel.

This next thing doesn’t involve a moose, but I’ll mention it anyway.  My friend Emily Mah recently posted an audio recording of an interview we did for Black Gate this past summer.  Emily and I were in the same writing critique group for several years before she and her family moved to a foreign country.  It was a fun interview, even if she spilled the beans about the greatest writing project in the history of literature: Vlad Jetpack.

Well, Gosh, THIS Would Have Helped

Posted on December 9, 2012January 8, 2025 by eidolon

File this under “Really Cool Stuff The Web Makes Possible But Doesn’t Make Possible Quite Soon Enough To Be Truly Useful To Me.”

Or, if that won’t fit on the file folder tag, just call it, “GAHHH Why Didn’t I Have This Three Years Ago?!?!” for short.

The Next Big Thing

Posted on December 5, 2012January 8, 2025 by eidolon

As part of the “Next Big Thing” meme that’s been making the rounds in the Facebook/Twitter/blogosphere the past few weeks, my pal Jo Anderton tagged me in her blog post last Wednesday.  Thanks, Jo!  

My answers to the Next Big Thing questions are below the cut.  And then I tag three people instead of five, because I’m lazy.

Though my newest project is the tentatively titled Clakkers trilogy, as I mentioned recently, I’m going to talk about my other projects, the ones that are headed for publication in 2013.
