In which there’s a finale. (See chapter 4.) 25. “Oh dude,” I said. “That would be awesome. I don’t know how to test the water, or if the soil will support earth seeds–” “I can teach you,” the baby said. “I have knowledge that was supposed to be accessible to you.” Someone on my comm […]
In which there’s a fourth chapter. (Go to chapter 3.) 19. “My dome? What?” I replied, grabbing my helmet so I could actually talk to the guy. “What do you mean?” “There’s something wrong with the cameras, Fred,” someone said calmly. “It’s a fucking Martian! Ye gods, even worse: some bastard child of human DNA […]
In which there’s a third installment. (Back to chapter 2.) 13. Every single day I cursed my wretched, useless public school education. Why didn’t I know basic chemistry? Why didn’t I know how to test melted Martian ice for drinkability? Why didn’t I know what was poisonous and what wasn’t? Why did I need a […]
In which there is a second installment. (Back to chapter 1.) 7. It took my stupid-tired self about fifty minutes to shut down the dome. I didn’t want the bodies exposed to air and heat; they’d just rot. Somebody would want this site preserved for forensics or something. Maybe. Plus it was a waste of […]

Guru brahma gurur visnuh gurudevo mahesvarah guru saksat parambrahma tasmai srigurave namah (I prostrate to that Sri Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu, and God Maheshwara, and who is verily the Supreme Absolute Itself.) At the very front of the archana book, there […]
In which I’m torn between really liking a device that works well, and feeling like I should never use it again. Last December, I bought myself an Amazon Kindle as a Christmas-slash-layoff present. I bought it not because I didn’t already have a way to read ebooks (I have four separate ebook apps on my […]
In which I recap my madcap, whirlwind, SUPERfun trip to the cit-ay! By 8:30 Friday morning I was in Sheila‘s van, heading west. Her awesome daughters let me ride shotgun, which was supercool of them. The ride was lovely – watching the land change from desert to rain forest is beautiful every single time I […]
In which there’s about to be a wee bit o’ travel. I’m going to Portland this weekend! My girl from the paper saw my tweet about wanting to go see Cory Doctorow sign books at Powell’s and offered me a place in her van! I’ve got a ride up the Gorge and back! Squee! I […]
