by: Isaac Asimov I guess this was the last Foundation book he wrote before he passed; there’s some mumbo-jumbo about it being the summation of his life’s work. Anyway, Hari (from Prelude) continues to be annoying and unlikeable, and not particularly “genius-like”. Oh, there’s also a section where Dors goes barging around “Bailey-style” and asking [...]

No really, it’s awesome. And poor Zainy is sick too, and now mommy is getting sick too. It’s a never-ending cycle! I have to wonder if it would be like this as well in….warmer locales. California, for instance. But there’s not much we can do about that (no we can’t move back!). So, in the [...]

Lifted from the Drudge Report here. I thought it was worth reposting in its entirety. I thought it was pretty good. Of course the real question is: do people read or listen anymore? Will it actually affect anything? I hope it at least stems some of the tide of all this bullshit about his pastor. [...]

by: Isaac Asimov Another happy memory on my ‘re-read-my-late-teens’ book tour. Of course, this one didn’t stand up as well to the test of time as the Saberhagen ones did… But all it all I found it enjoyable – much more so than Prelude to Foundation. The plot moved along fast enough, and does a [...]

Reposted from Vox. Unfortunately the formatting of the player links doesn’t work near as well here. /sigh. Like #1, these guys are also now defunct, and also managed to get out 2 discs. What is it about that soph->junior slump? The second album is much stronger than the first, although I think the first is [...]

I think I typed this up the other day, so it may not be uber current and whatnot, but anyway, some random thoughts. So there’s an audio interview with the aspirant president Clinton on NPR here that I was originally pointed to by Andrew Sullivan’s blog here. (It’s not very long). I was struck by [...]

A: What I don’t get is how they got the d*nkey to fix the copier.

By: Isaac Asimov (of course) It’s been so long since I originally read this I forgot it entirely. Not that I was missing much. The plot is really formulaic in the sense that Hari Seldon (the founder of psychohistory) just moves from location to location, learning a small lesson in each place. None of which [...]

See here for more info. (Is that Teddy Roosevelt on the right? Several posters on the official boards also suggested this…that would actually be kind of cool.) Boy was getting purchased by NCSoft the best thing to happen to that franchise! The last issue was awesome, and this one looks to be even better by [...]

I’ve mentioned before (maybe not here??) how much of a crock I think the whole ethanol thing is. The fact that Bush is pushing it so hard should make it really obvious that something is fishy. No, seriously I’m not just being petty. Think about it. Bush. Pushing an environmental policy. Does that seem normal [...]
