Thinking about some changes in Closed Circle…opinions sought.

We offer about 9 different formats. This has always been subject to review re the evolving technology, and we are looking at the extra time we take to convert—and vet, which is the time-heavy part—all 9 of these formats.

What would be the feeling if we offered principally .mobi/.epub/.pdf/.html (basically our ‘mini’ offering)? Anybody in [...]

Fencon—aptly named. And a beautiful drive.

A Texas convention run by fen, attended by fen who read, and in a very nice, friendly hotel…pretty big convention, and panels full of people who read and enjoy sf. We were worried after our experience earlier this year, but I can say this is a convention worth driving long distances to attend. Next year’s [...]

Re Foreigner, from the Seattle Star:

This is a project we’ve been working on…and I think you’ll be interested.

Here’s a good question: either the panel you’d like to see, or…the best you ever saw.

Describe. And if you can think of names, who you’d like to see on it.

Just got our Fencon programming…

I think we are going to get this worked out.

Doc visit—and Ari’s getting better…

The every-few-months buzz past the endocrinologist, who keeps me happily functional, and I’m doing fine…excellent blood pressure, no problems. Battled morbid depression for years until I got the thyroid problem figured out, and since then it’s been bluebirds and rainbows. (I know, glug, but it beats bats and cobwebs as general decor.)

The pond is [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s the other….plumbing saltwater…

A marine tank is not a matter of tossing water conditioner into city water, oh, no. It’s a matter of getting a small ro/di filter to filter gallons of tapwater into a quality exceeding what they run in your supermarket RO kiosk. A carbon block, a 1-micron filter, something else I forget, a carbon block [...]

Jane is blogging again and she has pix…

of the beautiful new baby koi on her blog…link on the left sidebar.

Going to do hamburgers for supper. On homemade buns…

y’know those big 4″ muffin-top pans? Great for hamburger buns. Set up the breadmaker for making dough, and drop a slightly flattened ball in each of 6 muffin-places. Makes great hamburger buns.

We’ve still got a couple of pieces of the pineapple upside down cake left. It was so thoughtful of Jane to do that [...]

We turned Ari out into the pond…

Well, we maneuvered her onto a tea towel for a sling and gently took her over to the pond from the 50 gallon fountain we’d used for a hospital tank. Her head wound hasn’t closed yet, but it’s a lot better, and her ripped fins have all healed, a very good sign in a fish [...]
