  1. RIP Jerry Pournelle (yes, I checked the date and everything!).

    His very best stuff was co-written with Larry Niven (e.g., The Mote in God's Eye, The Gripping Hand, Footfall, Lucifer's Hammer, The Legacy of Heorot), but also co-wrote some very entertaining military sci-fi (the Falkenberg's Legion stuff, which I loved). Despite the fact that his politics were almost the polar opposite of mine. But I've always been intrigued by "future history" type storylines.

    1. I did not expect to see a reference to Avalon Hill, who I knew only as a producer of some excellent early strategy-centric board games, mentioned there.

  2. Heading to Chico to give a presentation, then to the Sierra Nevada mothership for beers and early dinner with the Mrs. Mmmmm.

  3. I'm visiting the People's Republic for about 24 hours because my crazy b-i-l is doing the IronMan tomorrow, and I was welcomed with a lovely grass fire.
