    It’s from the comment thread at Shamus’ latest autobiographical post. I have serious issues with that post, but that’s not really any of my business, so I’m just going to gape in awe at the ASCII art instead.

  • Reviewing Reamde

    BoingBoing has an early review of Reamde up and it has seriously whet my appetite. Gold farming is the hook but apparently Stephenson is also a bit of a gun nut. Who knew? Exciting!

    REAMDE, by Neal Stephenson

    I’ve pre-ordered my copy from Amazon in save-a-tree format. I actually don’t even own a Kindle but it’s still the best way to read a book, especially one by the Neal. This thing is a thousand pages long.

    It’s out on September 20. So basically next Tuesday is a wash for me.

  • Sherlock soon

    Man, I cannot wait for this to get started. I’ve also caught up on Torchwood: Miracle Day, and Doctor Who is rolling along as well, and Warehouse 13. This may well be the golden age.

    Also discovered the site Sherlockology which is definitely going to be handy 🙂
