Review: The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross
The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don’t give many 5-star ratings, but The Atrocity Archives deserves one. You may need to read it with a web browser open to look up references using Wikipedia or Google, but if you enjoy Torchwood, Men in Black, or Snow Crash, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
The volume actually includes the novel and a novella, The Concrete Jungle. Both are good reading, and I recommend giving yourself time to enjoy the foreword and afterword, as well.
R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke
We lost another great writer and thinker today. CNN seems to be updating their story on his death by the minute. There’s no controversy, but from the first version or two you’d think the only thing the man had ever done of note was co-write the screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I know that he came up with more than just the idea of communications satellites, but at this very moment I can’t remember his other non-fiction contributions to the world. I’m sad, but 90 years is a good, long run.
Never, Never on a Sunday
Nope, not Sunday. Mostly. Well, maybe sometimes. Damned earworm!
I was trying to be Very, Very good today as I wrapped up my assignments for the semester. Unfortunately, I got completely distracted by the fact that I hadn’t done a bloody thing with Pagan Parents since adopting the site. I got it working at a minimal level, so it should be easy to add content now.
Hint Hint: Content! I need content! Collaborators! Seriously, if you have opinions about parenting as a pagan, or you know of resources that I should link to, please let me know. If you know somebody who might want to write an article or blog with us there, have him or her contact me.

MomoCon?
Anybody going to MomoCon here in Atlanta? I’d never heard of it before today. It’s free, and may be in its second year (I’m not sure). It seems quite small, which could be nice. It’s local, which is a big plus for us. I’m unclear as to whether there’s any gaming happening or not, and there’s no mention of filking that I can see.
