Assorted stuffs

Finished: Otherland, Vol 3: Mountain of Black Glass by Tad Williams
Started: The Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold
No detailed thoughts since it's part of a series and one part left to go. Still enjoying it though.
Started and Finished: Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow (available online, and read that way)

Finished: Ventus, by Karl Schroeder (available free online, but I read it in book form)
Started: 13 Great Stories of Science-Fiction (short story collection, mostly stories from the 50s)
Ventus thoughts behind the cut. Not really spoilery. Short version: Quite liked it, will have to check out more by the author.

Results::

Round 3: Baeocystin, a psychadelic mushroom component vs ProgressSoft, a software development company
( Read more... )
Lifewise, well, nothing else really new. When is anything? My life unchanges. Yes, my life is so static that it forces 'unchange' to somehow be a real verb.
Edit: Oh, and it's around that time of year for Networks to announce their schedules. A few networks have already announced their slates, and this site I've found has given me a good roundup of them in the past.
