REVIEW SUMMARY: An excellent addition to the Revelation Space universe.
MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A deadly race of sentient machines, the Inhibitors, is fast approaching human space with the intention of exterminating mankind. The renegade Conjoiner, Clavain, races to recover a cache of super-weapons that may be humanities only hope to stop them.

MY REVIEW: Excellent story set in a very hard-SF universe.
PROS: Well executed story of humanity's fight for survival. Strong SF concepts, sympathetic characters and ton of "sense o' wonder" complement the story.
CONS: This is a large book and, consequently, bogs down in the middle. Some of the action takes place "off stage".
BOTTOM LINE: A must read for fans of Alastair Reynolds.

It seems odd that LOCUS Online has just posted a review of Futurama , but its a combined review of the three released DVD sets. Well, the three in the US that is.

I agree with most of the sentiments expressed in the review and I think its ultimate demise was, in part, that it was too SF. In other words, the general public, those who aren't SF fans, might feel they were left out of some of the jokes, and they would be right. I think this also contributed to the Hollywood types not "getting the show" (along with a complete lack of imagination), which is what led to the cancellation. I do think this show has a lot to offer everyone, and it should be a candidate to bring back to the small screen, over other "lesser" shows like, oh, Family Guy....

Has anyone been following this? Apparently, NASA employees at Maryland's Goddard Space Flight Center were directed to not give any interviews about the upocoming disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow. The thought is that the movie would cause a backlash against President Bush for poor environmentalist policies. Later, NASA said they would make scientisits available to discuss climate change with the media.

Ummm..OK. Since when did every piece of fiction automatically become a political or social statement? True, some authors write stories with social commentary in mind. Still, I long for the days when a story was just that.

EverQuest II Beta is coming in June. They seem to be pulling that scam where they let people who throws tons of money at them (i.e. the Legends servers and Lords of Everquest players) gets in first. So I guess it's not really a public beta. Nonetheless, they say they will accept additional beta testers and you just have to sign up. So I guess that will be our very own Mr. Vegas (read: Scott) who will probably win an entry...

I ran across this review of Stories of Your Life by Ted Chiang. The review is written by by China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station and The Scar. So I browsed around the site and found some more ditties.

• In the books by genre section there is a slew of articles and reviews. Most of the sf books are reviewed by sf authors. Not all are favorable, as one might expect. For example, there is Michael Moorcock's review of Philip K. Dick's The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.


• A brief history of sf.


• China Miéville's (and others) list of Top 10 Favorite SF books.


• Quizzes about Iain Banks and H. G. Wells.

Lot's to explore and read. Have at it.

The Wrath of Khan was on AMC today and it makes you realize just how lame the other ST movies are. Including the other even numbered ones. Its got it all: action, drama, character interaction/development, death, pathos and the only cool movie rendition of Amazing Grace using bagpipes (which, as any Scottsman will tell you, is the only way to play it). So, in one of those serendipitous events that the internet makes easy to achieve, I ran across this web site today.

Sorta says it all, doesn't it?

My home internet (and digital cable) access has been only sporadically available since last week. I got a Roadrunner tech coming out this week. I wish they could have sent someone over immediately. I feel hobbled. You really don't appreciate your internet access until it goes bye-bye. I realize how much I take for granted the ability to purchase airline tickets, or blog, or send photos to the family, or surf por-, ummm..., I mean, search for worthy charities where I can donate my spare time helping others.

We all know that searching the web can be more challenging than trying to hit the 50 hole while playing "Dyson Sphere skee ball", especially if you're looking for a topic that returns millions of results like ipod, or Iraq, or recombinant lexography. Wouldn't it be interesting if you could see the results of your search visually? And what if the results were themselves organized by general topic - allowing you to further refine that ipod search into things like product reviews or merchants selling accessories?

Well, if that sounds intriguing to you, check out Grokker. This uniqe little Java application shows you the search results from Google in a way that just has to be seen to be appreciated. It organizes the search results visually so you can pick through just the things you really wanted to see. It's free for 30 days, after that there is a $50 license fee. While it is cool, I'm not sure its quite $50 cool. It might be a harbinger of the future in the wild world of high-stakes search engines, though, and so it's worth a look.

Apparently, Spider-Man 2's release was moved up and SCatWoT would have had only 4 days before SM2 stared. Oh well, at least no they'll have more time to work on the effects and won't be so rushed.

For our non-Texas friends, and even for those who live here but don't know this (you know who you are), today is the day the Texas Revolution ended and Texas was granted independence from Mexico.

April 21st was the Battle of San Jacinto whereby the Texians routed the Mexican, who apparently thought it was ok to sleep during the battle. Today, in 1836, General Santa Anna was captured and granted Texas its independence. If you haven't been to the park, its just east of Houston, why not? The monument is cool and you can tour the Battleship Texas! What's not to like?

I know, I know, not SF. But at least all that crap I learned from the @#%^&#$ 8lb. Texas History book in school came in useful!

It must mean that Google has a new, spiffy logo up. And sure enough they do. Make sure to check out the Google holiday logos. Since they have one for Gaston Julia's ('discoverd' fractals, before fractals where cool), they should have one for Dec. 15th, 2004. Which, as we all know, is the birthday of Freeman Dyson, patron saint of all things mind-bogglingly large and spherical. I propose the Os in Google be replaced with Dyson Spheres.

Oh yeah!

For you Star Wars fanboys, of which I am not one, RevolutionSF reviews the Star Wars Party Book. It includes SW-themed foods, games and decorations.

Will be back for more in The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. In fact, 4 more books. I'm not sure where I stand on this. I really enjoy Donaldson's work, The Gap series is great, and I really like the Covenant books, even though they are fantasy. But after the ending of White Gold Wielder, I figured that was it. I won't spoil the ending for those who haven't read it yet, but it seemed rather final. Donaldson says that the ideas for both the Second Chronicles and Last Chronicles came to him at the same time, but he's waited on writing the last Chronicles because they are difficult to write. I'm interested to see how the story moves forward for where he left off. I'll probably pick these up in hardback starting this fall!

And with the addition of 4 more novels, each of which will probably run over 600+ pages (like the others), the overall size of the Covenant series will put many average-sized Dyson Spheres to shame...

This article on the worst songs ever made me wonder what were some of the worst sf/f books people ever read. The only requirement is that it you had to actually finish the book. Otherwise, slam away.

For me, I would say that Battlefield Earth is the worst book I've ever finished. I though the first half was good. But then, at the halfway point, the main bad guy (Terl) gets killed off. The last half of the book details the efforts of Earth's survivors to wrestle control of the planet from...shark bankers. Lame. Every page was a tough decision to persevere or give up. Unfortunately, I continued. After the read, I had no inkling to see the Travolta movie (although I did catch part of that train wreck on SciFi).

I know I shouldn't be surprised by hardware anymore, but the new NVIDIA nv40 solution is amazing. Yes it is an order of magnitude faster than the previous generation, but look at this. First, in order to be powered properly, the card will require it to be connected to TWO 4-pin molex connectors and draws 110 watts. Start thinking about needing a 500W power supply. Second, while the first version will have an AGP interface to the nv40 chip, the next and future versions will have a PCI Express interface. PCI Express will replace AGP pretty quickly I think, and is a nice standard overall for peripherals. Third, it will cost about $500 which is nearly the same as a top of the line Pentium 4 chip, which shouldn't surprise us since it has more transistors than the Pentium 4.

An interesting cross-reference from Locus: All books that have won BOTH the Nebula and Hugo awards. Note that the novels by Card, Clarke, Haldeman, and Le Guin account for nearly half of them.

1. Isaac Asimov, The Gods Themselves (1972)
   
2. David Brin, Startide Rising (1983)
   
3. Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game (1985)
   
4. Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead (1986)
   
5. Arthur C. Clarke, Rendezvous with Rama (1973)
   
6. Arthur C. Clarke, The Fountains of Paradise (1979)
   
7. Neil Gaiman, American Gods (2001)
   
8. William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)
   
9. Joe Haldeman, The Forever War (1974)
   
10. Joe Haldeman, Forever Peace (1997)
    
11. Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)
    
12. Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness (1969)
    
13. Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed (1974)
    
14. Vonda N. McIntyre, Dreamsnake (1978)

16. Frederik Pohl, Gateway (1977)
    
17. Connie Willis, Doomsday Book (1992)
    

Sadly, I've only read 3, 4, 5, 11, 12 (actually, I couldn't finish this one), 15, and 16. And I call myself an sf fan. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Neal Stephenson talks about his latest book, The Confusion, in this Wired interview. In it, Stephenson states flat-out that he didn't write another cyberpunk novel because CP is dead (ie - assimilated into the science fictional milieu (come on Lix!)). Anyway, Stephenson focused on a period of time that interested him and, he hopes, will interest readers. Perhaps that's why I didn't abhor Quicksilver as some SFSignal Irregulars did. I won't mention any names (Scott)... I like history and there was enough of that in Quicksilver to make it interesting, along with Stephenson's typical humor. Is that enough to cause me to rush out and buy this book today? No. I will be perusing the Bookcloseouts site though....

Review Summary: Slow moving tale set in an alternate, 'Industrial Age' England, where magic has replaced technology. My Rating:

Brief Synopsis: The story of Robert Borrow's life, set against the last years of the Third Age. Robert is connected to various people and events which conspire to bring about the dawning of a new Age. The revelations of these connections play out over the course of the novel, and of Borrow's life.

Pros: Richly imagined world. The scenes of people's everyday lives and the cities in which they live give a nice depth to the story. The characters are fairly sympathetic, but interesting, and are enough to keep you going for more.
Cons: The book drags a bit everywhere. Things happen very slowly and major events happen offstage.

Well, I think we are most of the way back from the inadvertant 'lose half of the sidebar code' mishap from earlier today. I do see the both John and Tim seem to be reading 'Farmer in the Sky'. John I can belive. I'm not so sure about Tim. Tim, let me know what the real book you're reading is.

In other news, I've removed the foums link since they were just taking up space. In its placed, I've created a link to a new, spiffy About Us page! Yay! All you ever wanted to know about the people behind SFSignal, and more...

REVIEW SUMMARY: Austen loved it. Austen is 8 years old.
MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A demon superhero from another dimension fights an ancient evil.

MY REVIEW:
PROS: Great special effects; One interesting bad guy character.
CONS: Really boring story; only one interesting character, a bad guy who unfortunately isn't the main bad guy and therefore doesn't make it to the end of the film (why is it that bad guys always die off in reverse order of badness?)
BOTTOM LINE: Not much there for adults.

Battlefield 1942 is a popular online FPS set in WW II. Its a very fun game which allows you to pilot airplanes, drive tanks and jeeps and even aircraft carriers, battleships and subs. As with most FPS games released nowadays, BF1942 can be customized (or modded) by anyone with enough time and energy.

WW II was 50 years ago, but this mos I ran across is set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Yup, Galactic Conquest is set in the Star Wars universe (that is, until Lucas realizes they exist) and it looks like you get drive all sorts of cool things, including AT-ATs and Snowspeeders. If only Star Wars Galaxies had this. Sweet! It also looks decent. I haven't played it since I don't have BF1942, but this mod looks really good.

Well, today marks 100 days into my New Year's Resolution. I must admit that while I first found the task a bit daunting, I sure am enjoying the hell out of it. There is so much good short fiction out there. There's some bad stuff too but overall, I've come across some really great reads. As an added bonus, it's causing me to read more. Reading faster through my impossible book backlog is a good thing. And it has allowed me to better organize my time in "productive" ways. For example, I'll use small pockets of do-nothing time to toss-off (?) a short story. Or, If I don't feel like committing to a novel, I will read a novella rather than not read at all.

All in all, it's a good ride so far.

Sure they're available online, but Tivo tells me that on Saturday night, Cartoon Network is showing all 20 episodes. They're showing 5 episodes in a row at the top of every hour, starting at 8:00 p.m. A bummer w/o Tivo, since there'll be a 1/2 hour break between x:30 and x:00.

I can't guarantee this will be on - the programming schedule on cartoonnetwork.com (not carttonnetwork.com!) doesn't show it.

REVIEW SUMMARY: Awesome FPS that has it all - strong story, outstanding graphics, and overall fun gameplay. Look out Half-Life 2 and Doom 3!
MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A great shooter that casts you in the role of an ex-special forces soldier trapped on an island belonging to an evil scientist filled with his mercenaries. Most of the time you fight either the mercs or the other, shall we say, employees of the evil doctor. You have a woman to rescue and a rocket launcher - what could be better? This game has the best graphics of any game so far for the PC, hands down. It makes extensive use DirectX 9 support of pixel shaders, vertex shaders, bump maps, custom lighting - and on almost every item - even meaningless props. The maps are huge with the ability to think 'outside the box' to solve problems (go straight through, go around, or go over the enemy.) The 5.1 surround audio is good, the voice acting (for the most part) fits, and the game is just out and out fun to play. This game gets it almost all right. The areas where it is weak are in the plot (mad scientists on an island, hmm, yup seen it) and in the story. No One Lives Forever had a better story-arc and still reigns supreme for this style of game. Oh, and the lack of 'save anywhere' is strange - it doesn't hurt the game but it is noticably lacking for a PC title. I figure I spent 20 hours on the normal difficult level with a minimum need to replay a scene.

MY REVIEW:
PROS: Best graphics in a game yet, fun 'action hero' gameplay, and a decent amount of open ended solutions to the games puzzles.
CONS: Some dialog is weak, the plot is a little stale, and the story (while good) could be even more, save game system is odd
BOTTOM LINE: If you miss this game, you're going to be kicking yourself when everybody is talking about it for the next couple of years.

This article discusses the proliferation of amateur reviewers and how they influence sales. Amazon's review system is frequently discussed and there's even a mention of Klausner. (Not that I troll websites that mention Harriet Klausner or anything.) Publishers, aware of the sales influence of amateur reviews, are cited as sending free books to top reviewers. Why can't I get that gig? Oh yeah, the whole fifth-grade reading level thing.

Not SF, but Arrested Development is a must-see TV show about a seriously dysfunctional family . If you haven't seen it, set your Tivos. I've watched a few and this is really good television with well-written dialog and meaty plots ("meaty plots" sounds like a something you'd go to the doctor for, doesn't it? Oh well). It centers around Michael Bluth who is constantly trying to keep his family together (Daddy embezzled, got caught and is in jail and the family finds themselves without dough.) Some recent episodes featured a down & out Carl Weathers (as himself) offering acting lessons to ambiguously gay Tobias Funke (David Cross). Also, Liza Minnelli (yes, you read that right) as an older love interest for Michael's momma's boy brother, Buster. Very creative & funny stuff. Listen for the uncredited narration by Ron Howard, who also produces.

Again from Cinescape, it seems Shatner has an idea to allow Cpt. Kirk to make an appearance on Enterprise. He says "his idea is viable within the realm of escapist entertainment". Translation: More time travel! It will blow! Just what we need, Kirk to make another appearance. Shat needs to stop smoking his rolled up shares of Priceline....

Cinescape has a quick rundown of the upcoming SciFi Channel programming. Some interesting tidbits. Like:

Ringworld is being made into a 4 hour mini-series. 4 hours? That's it? My prediction: This mini-series will make the Riverworld mini-series look like an Emmy winner.

The previously mentioned, John intriguing Earthsea series, based on the Earthsea series by LeGuin.

Species III. Yawn.

The Man With the Screaming Brain. Um, ok. I didn't realize anyone else could hear the voices coming from John's head. The good news, though, Bruce Campbell will star!

And Bruce returns in yet another B-grade SF fest, Alien Apocalypse. Since Kevin likes apocalyptic films, and Bruce Campbell, this should be a winner for him!

The Joel Schumacher project. Yikes. Sex in the City meets V. Although the alien command in V was a hottie, for an alien.

Everything else looks 'meh'. Not really SF at all, except for maybe the Screw-On Head show. That's SF related, dumb, but related.

Creative Bristol sponsors The Great Reading Adventure, a huge city-wide reading project where people from Bristol (Bristolians?) read the same book at the same time. This year (two months ago, actually...better late than never!) it's Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham. The CB website offers an amazingly well-done PDF reading guide and even a graphic serial! I read the book several years ago and remember liking it a whole lot. If you haven't read this SF classic or you have only seen the terribly done movie, you should get this book.

REVIEW SUMMARY: Zombies will never shamble again.
MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: While the original Romero film was comedic and filled with social commentary, the Zack Snyder remake pulls out the stops and delivers the most tense zombie experience yet.

MY REVIEW:
PROS: Zombies scramble, not shamble; Excellent opening scenes showing how the zombie virus catches society unaware; extremely tense action scenes; character development.
CONS: A bit laggy in the middle of the film; unnecessary baby zombie scene was not tense, frightening or gross.
BOTTOM LINE: If you're a fan of zombie horror, don't miss this film. Also good if you like tense action films.

REVIEW SUMMARY: The latest Rainbow Six installment delivers the best counter terrorism game yet.
MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: More terrorists, more action, and a great graphics engine add up to a game that fans of the series will really enjoy. I finished the game's 15 missions in 25 hours, but I had to replay some of those missions several times - and this eventually becomes frustrating unless you enjoy the nuances of planning mode. Casual gamers need not apply - this game is hard and unforgiving.

MY REVIEW:
PROS: Unreal graphics engine, very realistic combat, a planning phase that actually means something, and a huge collection of weapons all realistically portrayed
CONS: A very hard game, difficult to get into for the newcomer
BOTTOM LINE: If you enjoyed previous versions this is a fantastic new addition. If you're a casual gamer who thinks Counter Strike is hard, give this one a pass.

The sad state of SF on TV continues. It looks like Enterprise will be renewed, but only for 12 episodes. Looks like B&B have succeeded in driving Star Trek into the ground.

And now, Century City has been pulled after only 4 episodes. Although not overtly SF in its presentation, the cased being argued were SF. Of course, going up against American Idol was probably a bad thing. It did, in a fourth place finish, gain 7.7 million viewers. I bet SciFi would kill to get half that number to watch one of their shows.

Which brings me to this. If you've been paying attention to John and myself's SF Shelf on the right there, you would see that I have been watching Futurama Vol. 3. Oh my goodness. Why in hell did Fox screw this show up? Disc 4 on Vol. 3 was worth the price by itself. Hilarious! The show itself alternates between being humorous to laugh out loud funny. Disc 4 is almost all laugh out loud. Fry discover what life would be like if it were like a video game. An 80's video game no less, with Mario and Donkey Kong no less. Part of the "Tales of Interest" show, very funny. "Roswell that End Well" is a time travel tale where Fry ends up being his on Grandfather. Another LOL show. "Godfellas" was just ok, more philosophical than the others. Back to the hilarity with "Future Stock", where an 80's guy is unfrozen and takes over Planet Express only to sell-out to Mom. The 80's riffs abound and just killed me when I watched it. Then, "30% Iron Chef". Being a fan of Iron Chef, I was interested to see this one. Bender challenges Elzar, a take off of Emeril Lagase, to a cooking duel. Another LOL episode. This volume is well worth the $$, two opposable thumbs waaaay up!
