Someone passed this link on to me via delicious. Does anyone know anything about Beneath Ceaseless Skies? What’s their operating model? Looks interesting, content-wise, and there’s some nice art featured. I’m not familiar with the editor, however.

Hi Folks. After a ton of work on the part of myself, Sarah, and my sound engineer and good friend Nate Periat, we’ve finished and posted our first Dr. Roundbottom Field Sounds podcast. It’s only 5 minutes long, so don’t hesitate to just go to the site and hit play. Please let me know what [...]
Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]
I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
Tight pacing. 2 minutes [...]
Located 15 minutes south of Fort Collins, Coyote Ridge is a natural area consisting if a couple hundred acres of prairie. A trail runs from the road up across several ridges. Today, I walked to the base of the second ridge before coming back. I’ll make the full hike to the end [...]
The Dream Zine?
I hear what you’re thinking, “You mean your dream magazine wasn’t the Fortean Bureau?” At the time, it was everything I could make it be with the constraints (financial, content, format) I worked under. And even though the magazine is on semi-permanent hiatus, I still follow the publishing side [...]
see clockpunk.com for information. Strobist Info: Three lights! FInally got a three light setup going. One FL-36 bounced on an umbrella pointing at the background. A speedlight into a softbox camera right, up close to the foreground figure (rear figure is the same person, added from a different exposure). Finally, a Vivitar on 1/4th about 10 feet back extreme camera left as a fill.
Dragon flies are big enough that I can take some very high magnification shots of their faces. They look so unusual at this scale, but quite beautiful, in my opinion.

A friend of mine says he’s a 2005 Odyssey grad, and she was impressed with both his writing ability and his insightful comments on the stories of others. Beyond that I don’t know anything besides what’s on the site.

Hi Jerermiah,
I’m Scott H. Andrews, the guy behind _Beneath Ceaseless Skies_. You might remember my story “Excision” in Ann VanderMeer’s first issue of _Weird Tales_. Our operating model is the _Strange Horizons_ model, but we do have enough initial anonymous donors lined up to power us through the first year.
I got a lot of interested comments at ReaderCon yesterday, so I’m very excited to see word starting to spread. Thanks for mentioning it here.
