I was at a dive bar I talking to this guy studying at Rockefeller University who watched a couple of scientists splice DNA from a firefly to make another animal phosphorescent. I thought it might just be a story, but then I found this article from a science fiction writer. It's a delightful story...

I started reading Elizabeth Moon with her Paksennarian fantasy books. I have since learned that she wrote those based on some conversations about role playing games. More recently I have been enjoying her science fiction books about the Vatta wars -- more on that later. The Speed of Dark, which...

One of my spam messages yesterday had the subject line of "oyster perpetual cosmograph." Sounds vaguely steampunkish, doesn't it? And off we go... I was reading details of William Gibson's induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and noticed that steampunk was mentioned as a literary genre. I...
I am not one to go crazy over the classics. I don't know if it's because I don't enjoy them or I got sick of being told I had to read them when in school. Either way, this is one classic I am glad I picked up. A great read. It made me laugh, sadden and think a lot. Kafka did a great job. The story...

The finale was excellent, although the second to last episode was better (and written by Jane Espenson.) By far,...

Strange Horizons publishes S/F and speculative fiction, poetry, articles, and reviews. I read this story today by Rachel Kincaid and particularly liked it. Good voice. It's about a guy who receives messages printed at the bottom of receipts from one particular ATM.

Age is a difficult thing. With time comes experiance and the potential for wisdom, but at some point our bodies begin to fail. Two weeks ago my mom called to let me know grandpa fell off a ladder and had to be taken to the hospital. His hard headedness saved him, but it was pure stubborness that...
