Might as well do an update. At DailyKos I've been serializing (http://www.dailykos.com/user/David%20Brin) the "Suggestions to the New Congress" essay that I posted at: http://www.davidbrin.com/suggestions.html
Any of you would be welcome to post comments there on on my blog at: http://www.davidbrin.blogspot.com/ Also stirring the pot have been two sprawling essays on the Lifeboat Foundation site: One of them is all about the coming "singularity" and whether we'll become gods or self-destruct: http://lifeboat.com/ex/singularities.and.nightmares The other is about the stunning arrogance of the SETI community, for wanting to broadcast into space without even talking about it with anybody: http://lifeboat.com/ex/shouting.at.the.cosmos Any of you all still into science fiction? I have some stories and novellas and a SERIALIZED SF COMEDY NOVEL running on the best online science fiction magazine ever. Jim Baen's UNIVERSE Magazine gives you about three to four times your money's worth than any other magazine or source of SF, paying great rates to top authors. http://www.baens-universe.com/ If the comedy tickles your fancy, I will listen to suggested bad puns and cruel ideas! Finally, any of you experts on BATTERIES? My wife's writing a nonfiction book about the history of the battery. Need expert readers! Hoping all brinellers are thriving in these challenging times. With cordial regards, David Brin http://www.davidbrin.com _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
