It's never straight up and down. It's a wiggly world.

Cold Welcome (Vatta's Peace, #1)
Elizabeth Moon
Picks up where the Vatta's War series left off and just as good as they were. Highly recommended.
Ecotopia: The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston
Ernest Callenbach
A utopian novel that's not as bad as its reputation but not good either.
Twilight Of The City
Charles Platt
A serviceable but unexceptional post-apocalyptic story.
Earth Invader
Randall Garrett
I read the first half of this story serialized in an old Astounding issue but never found the second part until I came across the novel in a used book store.
Four Futures: Life After Capitalism
Peter Frase
The author seems more interested in promoting communism than in objectively looking at economic systems that might work in a post-scarcity world.
The Best of Stanley G. Weinbaum
Stanley G. Weinbaum
For a couple of years, between the start of his writing career and his early death, Weinbaum became recognized as one of the best science fiction writers in the world.

Sat 11 Aug 2018 8:38pm ATT shut off Internet access at our office a couple of weeks ahead of schedule so I've spent the last few days making all sorts of crazy hacks to get the Bitcoin miners running in my garage. The S9 is having to share a 240V outlet with a clothes dryer until our new circuits are installed, so it goes offline when it's time to do laundry. But it's actually up and running mostly, so mission accomplished for now .
Sun 5 Aug 2018 4:06pm Did a shoot today with the lovely @noemineruda. Photos coming soon. And, yes, I still suck at taking selfies! . If you want to see lots more photos of models and fewer photos of cats, what I ate for lunch, and other random stuff, then you should go follow my other Instagram profile: @mortal.beauty - it's all models all the time. .
Sat 4 Aug 2018 5:38pm Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! 🍪🍪🍪 .
Wed 1 Aug 2018 6:21pm Everyone else has plain gray Ethernet cables but when I needed a new one, IT gave me a bright pink one decorated with tiny rhinestones .
Thu 26 Jul 2018 4:31pm New toy. One of the things I don't like about modern TVs is they expect you to enter alphanumeric data through a traditional TV remote or a clunky smart phone app. I picked up this nifty Riitek i8+ wireless QWERTY keyboard this week. It's way faster to type searches now. It also works with the Raspberry pi, which is cool .

Sat 21 Jul 2018 9:01pm The Sahara dust makes for a nice sunset at least... .
Sun 15 Jul 2018 9:29am Susan and I usually drive our cars for at least ten years and well into the six figure mile range but we're both coming up on new car choices. I'd like to get an EV this time but I'm not sure if the affordable version of the Tesla Model 3 will be available soon enough, so I did a test drive of the Chevy Bolt yesterday. It was really pretty cool. Anyone out there have any experience with the Bolt or opinions on the Bolt vs Model 3? .
