PotD: DIA Terminal
I’m out of town this week, so the photo of the day is going to be artsy Instagram crap like this. Please forgive me.
More on Blog Comments
Matt Gemmell has provided a very nice round-up on the pros and cons of comments on blogs. I’m starting to sway back into the pro-camp. I’ve felt like I’ve been blogging into a vacuum since turning them off over here as part of the redesign. As soon as I have a moment to design their layout, I’ll be adding them back.
Work, With Occasional Mole Men Cover by Pablo Defendini
This is the ebook cover the amazing Pablo Defendini created for my novella, “Work with Occasional Mole Men.” I’m really in love with it–Pablo did a great job. I hope to have the ebook up in stores by the end of the month. Things are incredibly busy around here, which is a very good thing. If you’re looking to hire a designer, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Pablo.
Theodora Goss on Fantasy Magazines
Theodora posits that what we need now is a new Journal of Mythic Arts. I’m inclined to think that such a thing could be quite nice. But would you read it?
PotD: Immature Bald Eagle
I mistakenly tweeted this morning that I was staking out a golden eagle. I have a hard time telling immature bald eagles from golden eagles at a distance, but upon closer inspection, I’m pretty sure this is a young bald eagle. One of these days, I’m going to find a golden eagle! (The focus is a little soft here. I had a nightmare of a time today with out of focus shots. I think I need to stop using the 1.4x teleconverter.)

I love the idea of a SF story in which teen fashion is dictated by the need to thwart omnipresent monitoring. The example images they provide are a must-see.
Fishing Under Ice
Fishing under ice from Juuso Mettälä on Vimeo. I love how a simple perspective switch can result in something so fascinating to watch.
Dreams of Space
Stunning scans of nonfiction children’s books about space travel. Makes my heart ache in a strange way. Should probably get that checked out.
Biopixels
A fascinating development from UC San Diego in biotechnology. It doesn’t seem super-practical at this point, but new emerging technologies rarely do at first. 10 years from now, you may have to feed your monitor and televisions.
