- Walker of Worlds interviews Peter F. Hamilton (The Dreaming Void)
- Eclipse Magazine interviews Ridley Scott, the Blade Runner director who said scifi is dead, and then just recently produced the A&E version of The Andromeda Strain (which was pretty good only if you ignore all the science gaffes, btw).
- The New York Sun profiles Harlan Ellison.
- SciFi Dimensions podcast-interviews John C. Wright. Funny...he doesn't sound like George Kennedy...

- I can neither confirm nor deny the truthfulness of Shoeboy's Law of science fiction series - that any sufficiently lengthy science fiction series will degenerate into sexual wish fulfillment for the book's author - but I'll have fun trying.

John C. Wright has always struck me as the kind of guy to carry a swagger stick, which he would poke you in the chest with in order to emphasise his points.

That's what I need, a swagger stick!
Not that I have any points to emphasize, I just want to poke John in the chest with it.

Man, if I had a nickel for every time JP wanted to poke me...

As long as you don't post photos, I wish you both the best of luck with your mutual poking
