A lot of critics have been panning Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse, and I know some people are giving it a pass because they didn’t get into it in the first episode. Me? I love it. I also love good cop procedural shows if they have character development (Bones, NCIS) and I think the misunderstanding [...]

I just hired an intern. Or “hired,” more like–she’s just doing this for the experience. But it’ll be great to have a little help every week with organization and reader reports. Also, my reading backlog is slowly clearing out this week and next–if I have something from you to consider for Tor, you should either [...]

I’m working on building a page of books that I recommend and that I’ve edited (which of course I also recommend!). So far, the page only has books that I’ve edited. I really love Indiebound‘s easy linking system–you look up the book, enter your affiliate number on the book’s page, and voila! A link (with [...]

The zombie cold seems to be lightening up–it was a whole lot worse yesterday than it was today, though my nose still feels like it’s a drippy faucet. So far I’ve had a great [...]

I had a cold last weekend, but Monday and Tuesday it seemed to be clearing up. I was feeling mostly better, running around doing errands and seeing friends and getting work done. Then I woke up today, and it was back with a vengeance. I think it died but now I have a zombie cold. [...]

It seems that FB has at least temporarily rolled back their terms of service to the previous, slighly less draconian terms until they can figure out why tens of thousands of people were protesting and even deleting their accounts. We’ll see what happens. On to other news. Suddenly life has gotten really busy! Especially with [...]
