First, I want to thank John for the trebuchet and now I will commence the building of my new weapon of destruction. Secondly, I only read Playboy for the articles – or lack of articles (clothing that is) Rawr!!!!
The first eight chapters of VARIABLE STAR are available online at Spider Robinson’s website.

Great trebuchet – and as an aside, has anybody else noticed how cool Make magazine is?
Yep. That’s one of my many RSS feeds.

Give the girl a cheeseburger for Pete’s sake!
Doesn’t mean I still won’t look.
