• Rich Horton summarizes the past year of Jim Baen's Universe. I've read only two issues so far and I like it...I wish I time to read all the good stuff out there.


• Interviews galore!
• MetaxuCafe has interviews with sf authors Tobias Buckell (Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin) and Karen Miller (The Innocent Mage and The Awakened Mage).
• Fantasy Book Critic interviews Catherynne M. Valente (In the Night Garden).
• Adventures in Scifi Publishing podcasts Howard V. Hendrix, author of Spears of God.
• BreeniBooks interviews John Lawson (Witch Ember and The Raven).


• Matthew Cheney weighs in on how to save sf magazines.


• SciFi Scanner lists 5 Films about SF Authors


• Wired looks at The Most Beautiful Planetary Maps Ever.


• Pac-Man is suddenly hip again. First, BoingBoing steers us to the Steampunk version of Pac-Man. Then, there is this: Pac-Man, the Zork version.


• Top5 SciFi lists The Top 10 Odd Time Travel Missions. #9: Return to 1982 to bludgeon L. Ron Hubbard to death, thereby preventing the publication of Battlefield Earth. Heh-heh...I always thought Battlefield Earth was a most perfectly mediocre book. About halfway through (when the main antagonist is killed) every single page was a stop-or-keep-going decision. Shark bankers indeed!
