@scalzi.com How's the launch tour going? I'm looking forward to getting my copy of The Shattering Peace whenever the NZ distributors feel fit to make it available. I really hope it matches the Tor reprints of the earlier books.

Not sure if any Aucklanders with Costco memberships are interested, but there's a pretty incredible XBox deal at the moment (according to Facebook from a few hours ago, no idea about stock levels) Console with no bundled game is currently $850 at PB Tech

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I feel seen.

This is the emptyist I have seen the Capital Connection in years. School holidays I guess.

All I can think about when folks bring up the rapture is free shoes for atheists.

When putting washing on the line, do you peg up socks individually or as a pair?

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Hmmm. Spotify finally gets lossless (on some streams).

WTF is this?!?! The pulse and animated swirl were totally unnecessary...

It's 2025. Be better.

Random question for Wellington (NZ) folk. Where could I get a life-sized cardboard photo cutout made?

Had to do an emergency run to nearby Indian takeaway as Rice Cooker decided that tonight would be a good time to die; right while we're making Butter Chicken. Made use of opportunity to get a Mango Lassi. SOOOOOO GOOOD.

Large group of people just bought a huge amount of Maccas on board train. The smell is overpowering.

Today, September 15th, is the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie "Hackers." The _30th_ anniversary. Three decades. THREE. DECADES. Anyway, don't forget that prostate exam, maybe a pair of reading glasses would help, and I hope your back feels better today.

Normal spring onions vs the ones I got at the Saturday Market

About 25 years ago, I was doing a lot of driving in a car with a cassette player - I had approx 20 cassettes and never had a problem choosing what to play. Now I have an iPod with 5,000 songs plus all that streaming malarkey and I can never decide what to listen to. Makes you think ... maybe
