A new short Coode Street monologue where I sit in my office and talk about appearing on Starship Sofa to talk about Godlike Machines, discuss exactly how you get Ted Chiang to write for you (hint: ask), mention Ted’s new upcoming Subterranean Press novella “The Life Cycle of Software Objects”, and answer a few questions from Twitter.

I  am still messing around getting the whole podcast thing to work, to only minimal avail in truth. However, I still have the urge to podcast so I’ve recorded a second short audio blog entry. This one is about ten minutes long and I discuss a few upcoming SF novels I’m looking forward, the new issue of Locus, and my upcoming anthology Engineering Infinity.

Hi all – This really isn’t very real. This is me sitting in my office by myself at 11.00pm on a Sunday, recording my first Audio Blog.  I blather about the year’s best, my reading, and some other stuff. My voice sounds awful, but more as I play with the tech.

This is not a podcast. Move along.  I’m just goofing off and wanted to see if this might work.  There’s an audio sample here, but there’s not much to it.

The good folk at Subterranean Press have started publishing my special guest-edited issue of Subterranean Magazine (Spring 2010). First up is “The Naturalist” by Maureen F. McHugh, and there’s a lot more to come.  I loved working on the issue, and am delighted to see it getting out into the world. Keep an eye out on the Subterranean site.
