There may be actual content later. Or not. We'll see how we go.
In the meantime, some links that came up this morning and I thought you might like:
Asus and Intel invite people to design their ideal computer
Clive James has some news on the next Bond film (remember to bring your pinch of salt to this article ;))
Councils try to ban the use of Latin. I have mixed feelings about this one. Some phrases *are* confusing, although you can normally work out what they mean from context. But "e.g." and "etc" shouldn't be, I wouldn't have thought. It's trickier than it sounds from the headline, shockingly [/sarcasm]
Secrets of Great Characters according to 6 sci-fi authors. Great, great advice on building characters and worlds for them, applicable to all writing, not just science-fiction. Including contributions from Elizabeth Bear and Kim Stanley Robinson.
