This blog gives me a place to comment on things which strike my fancy, hence the title. Topics may include computer software/hardware, science, space, beer, books/movies/television programs of a geeky nature, or almost anything else. It is not marked as containing adult content but be warned that I occasionally post about beer and sometimes forget to watch my language. I've been writing systems software since the days of core memory, paper tape, and front panel lights/switches.

Rudy Rucker
One of my favorite SciFi authors, Rudy Rucker, has kindly released his latest novel called Postsingular under a Creative Commons license. This is a great way for people unfamiliar with Rudy's work to try it out. If you like it (and I'm sure most people will) please buy his earlier books. I like to keep my favorite authors gainfully employed because that means more good books for me to read.

ReplyDeleteI like Rucker, too. Haven't read anything of his in some years, so it will be fun.
Thanks for the pointer!
