I really like Rochita Loenen-Ruiz‘s fiction, and Weird Tales has just posted a new one-minute video micro-fiction of hers (video by Gregory Bossert). So I’m heading off to no-internet land this afternoon but thought I should post this one before I go. The new Weird Tales issue will be out soon, Ann tells me, and […]
Diana Comet and Sandra McDonald put together this totally awesome short video of a periodic table of women in SF–and I’m not just saying that because my wife Ann is on it. It’s got lovely pacing, it embeds a lot of information, and made me smile more than a few times. There’s also a PDF […]

So, to start with, I am almost totally alienated from pop culture. Ironically, I’m much more tapped in now (at 27) than I ever was as a teenager. Pop music, movies, what? I can name like three Madonna songs and that’s primarily because I went to Sarah Lawrence College (where the stereos flip wildly from […]
Hello. My name is Rachel Swirsky, and for better or worse, I’m a short fiction writer. This is relevant to today’s post — and indeed, to my entire last week — because for me, fantasy and science fiction has turned out not to be just a fun occupation, but also a disease vector. Last week, […]
Right, so, Caplin Rous posted some new videos on Facebook, and they’re really cute. So I must obey my capybara masters and post them here for your enjoyment…
Civilization by Marco Brambilla from CRUSH on Vimeo. Via Hal Duncan who got it from SF Signal. Pretty darn wild. Heh. I thought Twilight was a big ole heaping plate of gross and the unintentionally funny. A friend sent me the link to this remix of Buffy with Twilight that shows just how creepy Edward […]
NO YOU ARE NOT SEEING DOUBLE. I AM WEARING THE SAME HAT AS IN THE LAST POST. BUT NOW IT IS AS YOUR LATE-NIGHT LINKSMONGER (morning/mid-afternoon for peoples in other places) MORNING LINKS-MONGER (evening/mid-afternoon for peoples in other places). GOT NO PLACE TO GO? TRAPPED UNTIL MORNING? HANG OUT WITH ME AND THE LINKS… First […]
What do I do to relax after a refreshing car crash? I make a little video with meta-narration about my favorite used bookstore in the world: Chamblin Bookmine. At the very least, it should show you just how ridiculous the place is, in the best sense of the word. Ann and I have traveled the […]
My good friend Charles Goran and his Atomic Pistol crew of interstellar design monkeys have just put out a new game for the iphone. I love Charles’ work, and this is really cool. Give it a try–check it out on itunes. Jeff: Do you like it? Evil Monkey: Hell yeah! It’s gots monkeys in it! […]
