Especially to Midori Snyder and Terri Windling for special award, non-professional (although: huh?) and to Ellen Datlow for the anthology Inferno.
And, out of courtesy to their sensibilities I will not now be gnashing my teeth and screaming about rigged elections because neither Will Shetterly nor Emma Bull won. They would certainly not appreciate such a display on any level.
So I will quietly pout.
I happened to notice a comment in my LJ from some months ago pointing out that last September marked 25 years since the publication of Jhereg. 25 years. Weeee!
Overall, the best summation of my career so far is something Jerry Garcia said in response to a question about the annoyances of his lifestyle. He said something like, the idea that people are willing to pay money to be entertained by me is so amazing, it would be really small of me to complain about any part of it.
Yeah. Like that.
I love this life.
Thank you, people, for making it possible.

The Continuous Coast project is looking for graphic artists and web geeks. It’s a creative commons share-alike open source project. It should be fun. While we think we may have a solid business model, none of us are making money at the moment; but we have hopes.
In order to launch the main website for the project, we are looking for assistance from both webdesigners and web programmers. We have a moderately complex website where we want to offer a unified experience across several different parts of the website including user fora, a store, &c. We’d like the website to be built from free and open source technologies like PHP, Drupal, WordPress, etc.
Interested applicants must be able to collaborate well with others, and be able to keep time commitments when made. Please apply with links to samples of your work via email to kit at dreamcafe dot com.

Man, I am so ready for the next season! I was watching a rerun this afternoon, and there’s is this scene in the bullpen. Wile Lau and Haf are bantering in the foreground, in the background Rhyes drops a folder in front of Brady, and Brady looks at the folder, looks at Rhyes, then just pushes it off to the side. Rhyes nods and walks away, and that’s it. Is there a whole story there, or what? Anyone catch it, and have any ideas?
Now they’ve arrested a 13-year-old boy because a 13-year-old girl sent him a nude pic of herself. The charge? Child Pornography. Does the phrase GMAFB seem appropriate? Here’s the link.
I don’t think a 13-year-old girl exploring her sexuality by taking a picture of herself and sending it to her boyfriend is worth so much as a raised eyebrow, except perhaps to her parents. And the term for a 13-year-old boy who would enjoy getting such a picture is, I believe, “normal.”
I think someone in this scenario is sick. So if it isn’t the girl, and it isn’t the boy…
Can someone please turn down the insanity a notch?
