I like the idea of this competition. Don't be surprised to see more entries from me. Don't be surprised to not see more entries either. What I'm trying to say here is: whatever I do, don't be surprised. Or, if you are surprised, try to cover it up in a manner that doesn't give away how surprised you are. I find surprise to be most unbecoming. Thankyou for listening.

I'm gobsmacked, but hiding it!

Ringworld -- good one! m.

Whoa! That's most excellent!
I wanted to do something from Niven as well, but I couldn't think of anything.

just hooked a brilliant book from the library, btw:

"The Iron Dreams"
"A science fiction novel by Adolf Hitler"
(Norman Spinrad)
so far, so excellent.

Omyword!

Your blog is great! Thanks for finding me on Twitter. I'm curious where you got that image because it looks exactly like Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the pool/resort could be the Camelback Inn or Mountain Shadows Resort? My parents stayed there for a business convention in the late 60's and decided to move our whole family to Scottsdale from Philly. We finally moved in 1971.
