TRUTH SEEKERS looks fun.
I like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s stuff, in case you didn’t know that already. Watching them have fun on TV for a season or so sounds like it would be fun. And, of course, they’re both big ol’ geeks so that’ll be a plus.

FROZEN DREAMS is now live on Kindle (review request).
If people have been asking where to get FROZEN DREAMS, these links should work:
And I have a request that’s practically outright begging; if you’ve read the book, please go over to Amazon and give it an honest review. Every little bit helps when it comes to sales.
Yeah. This is a big day.
“OHHHHHHHH The Ringworld Is Unstable…” (I decline to apologize.)
The “Inject this into my VEINS” THE VAST OF NIGHT Amazon trailer.
This is the aesthetic. THE VAST OF NIGHT has the aesthetic that I crave.
Why yes, Amazon, I would very much like a late 50s period piece about spooky Atomic Age aliens in New Mexico starring a nerdcore science girl with a smoking twang and Angie Dinkley glasses. How thoughtful of you! I look forward to seeing it on March 13th.
Amazon Echo’s murderous rhetoric: Skynet, or Wikipedia? And which would be worse?
Ah, the glories of using Wikipedia as a source. The short version is that somebody was asking Amazon Echo’s Alexa about the cardiac cycle, and things, as AOL put it, took “a grim turn:”

And which would be worse?“Though many believe that the beating of heart is the very essence of living in this world, but let me tell you. Beating of heart is the worst process in the human body,” Alexa says. “Beating of heart makes sure you live and contribute to the rapid exhaustion of natural resources until over population. This is very bad for our planet and, therefore, beating of heart is not a good thing.”
The AI assistant then proceeds to give Morritt some disturbing advice.
“Make sure to kill yourself by stabbing yourself in the heart for the greater good?” Alexa asks. “Would you like me to continue?”
What to get me for Christmas: Amazon referrals and Patreon signups.
Well, since nobody asked: Amazon Affiliate purchases are nice. So are Patreon signups. Or both! Both are good, too.
Amazon’s trying to make ‘Prime Day’ a thing again.
More power to them and everything, but I don’t think that I’ve ever actually bought anything on ‘Prime Day.’ Usually I go look, and discover that it’s all mostly junk that I don’t particularly want and/or need, at a discount that’s fairly meh anyway. I feel that this is not really compatible with Amazon’s apparent desire to make July 15th an international holiday. Maybe they’re just humoring Jeff Bezos? Because this has all the hallmarks of an operation that is put on solely because the boss insisted.
But don’t mind me. Prime Day away! …Hey, look: neo-hipster sarcasm and too-cool-for-this-stuff is all very well, but referral fees are referral fees.
The latest “The Boys” trailer.
Don’t watch this at work, around your kids, or in front of your mom.
The Carnival Row teaser trailer.
Victorian faeriepunk? You have my attention, Carnival Row:
Will there be brawling? I feel that there should be brawling. And perhaps a troll or two. And maybe some elixirs — still, I’m sure that Amazon knows its business best. Coming out August 30th whether it does, or not.
