SF Tidbits for 9/25/07

Over at The Art Department, Irene Gallo micro-interviews artist Glen Orbik. I'm lovin' that cool, retro-looking cover of Space Vulture.

Baen Books will soon be releasing electronic versions of select Subterranean Press titles through their webscriptions service.

James Patrick Kelly is podcasting his novel Look Into the Sun. Here's Part 28.

Andrew Wheeler reviews The Horror in the Museum by H.P. Lovecraft and Others.

At Locus Online, John Shirley looks back at Soylent Green.

Over at SciFi Wire, Michael Shanks talks about the Stargate movies; Stargate: Continuum and Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

Michael Cassutt offers his "biased" review of The Masters of Science Fiction.

Kunochan.com lists The Top Twenty Starship Captains.

David Brin's novel Startide Rising is a beloved sci-fi classic (and don't let a mediocre film adaptation turn you off to his equally great The Postman).
