Cory Doctorow has some things to say about Facebook, which are pretty interesting.  I have a Facebook page thingie, but I’m not a big fan of it. I just removed all of my obviously personal information from it, and don’t intend to spend much time dealing with it from here.  Please don’t be offended if I don’t friend you back or something.  It’s me, not you.  If you need to contact me, or chat about something, this remains the place to do it. Oh, I’ve also discontinued all emails from Facebook, so if you send me a message there I’m unlikely to get it.  This is the place.

Night Shade have posted the table of contents and cover for The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Vol. 2 over on their website.  I’m pretty sure the cover’s going to change, but the list of stories is solid.  As always, there were three or four stories I really wanted to squeeze into the book, but given that I’m already overlength, I couldn’t make that happen. I’m pretty sure galleys will be going out soon-ish, and the book should be on the shelves in March, 2008.  Although I complain on the blog about the reading, it’s a joy and a privilege to be allowed to do the book, and I hope readers enjoy it.  I’m already reading for the third volume, which should come your way in March of 2009.
