Mid-week Maunder 27 May 2020

May 27, 2020 By fictionman

Looking forward to the online Nebulas this weekend, albeit with a little trepidation as to how it will work.  Well, I’m game to try it.  One of the more interesting parts of the weekend is that this year the Nebulas overlap with a professional meeting that I usually attend.  I had figured that I would […]

Mid-week Maunder 20 May 2020

May 20, 2020 By fictionman

A fairly light week this week, but then we have the online Nebulas at the end of next week.  Very interested to see how this works.  While the scale will be reduced and the spontaneous personal connections can’t happen, the online modality does make it possible for people to participate without having to buy airline […]

Mid-week Maunder 30 April 2020

April 30, 2020 By fictionman

As you can see from the date, I’m a day late with this post.  No excuse for that, or no good one.  Need to do better. I did finish Sharon Kay Penman’s historical fiction, The Land Beyond The Sea.  This is a magnificent book, the story of the downfall of Outremer, the Crusader Kingdom of […]

Mid-week Maunder 22 April 2020 – more hard sf

April 22, 2020 By fictionman

I talked a little about the concept of hard sf last week.  One topic I mentioned but didn’t go into is the idea of hibernation/deep sleep/suspended animation.  For all the attention that we pay to physics, we don’t spend much time on this, but if we don’t have an FTL drive or a multi-generation ship, […]
