A little piece of mine called “Threefold Path” just got accepted for Six Sentences Vol.1.
That’s acceptance #1 for 2008!

@Six Sentences
I’d say 2008 is off to a nice start.
No, This Is the Last One…Really
I didn’t think I’d have the time to get something together in time to meet tomorrow’s deadline for Six Sentences, Volume 1. I’m still scrambling to finish two other projects (only one of which will get done by tomorrow–eh, well).
But, I reworked a story that “came close” but was rejected from a few places, and voila: the real last sub for 2007!
“Get along…”
It’s just past noon, and I haven’t really started my writing day yet. I shouldn’t complain; now’s about the time I started yesterday, and I got done everything I’d planned to get done. Trouble is, I set my bar a little low during the break. It’s time to pick it up a tad, I think. Not that the time’s been completely wasted, seeing as I’ve been scouring teh Intartubes for snippets from the Daptone Records catalog.
Still though, Gunny says that it’s time to work, so that’s what I’m going to do. Time to turn off the soul (music) and put on some stuff I can work to…
Merry X-Mas to Me
Not sure how long these things stay up, but one of my pieces, “The Right to Privacy” is listed as one of the Six Blasts From the Past on the front page of Six Sentences. Just go down the menubar on the right.
Merry Christmas!
“…where the groove will get you high”
Here’s my proposed (incomplete) soundtrack for 2008, courtesy of Daptone Records and SeeqPod.
Not All Remakes Suck
IMO, it looks like Cassandra Wilson (goddess that she is) may no longer have the market cornered on brand new takes on old songs…
“What Have You Done For Me Lately” by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by The Bad Plus
(This has been a test of SeeqPod. Had this been an actual post about certain songs, you would have been inundated with snarky commentary.)
I’ve Got Plenty to Submit Here
Literary Rejections on Display
Remember this: Someone out there will always say no.
Of course, I’ll want to spend hours and hours endlessly sorting through my rejection letters in order to find the one worded juuuuust right…
Resistance Is Even More Futile
The Top Ten Transhumanist Technologies
The Lifeboat Foundation has a special report detailing their view of the top ten transhumanist technologies that have some probability of 25 to 30-year availability. Transhumanism is a movement devoted to using technologies to transcend biology and enhance human capabilities.
