This Rocketship Will Crash. Stories by Miracle Jones: miraclejones@fictioncircus.com. Famous People Don’t Care. When I tell people I used to work at Pippi’s Cafe in the city, everybody always asks me if I ever met Quentin Tarantino, because everybody knows he used to live right above Pippi’s when he was filming in New York. But I only worked there long enough to meet him once. 8220;We should shut this place down,” I said. “It’s probably an act of terrorism.”. I swung back into the kitchen. Pedro was ...

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded).: So if I'm done, why do I still have this queasy lump in my stomach?
http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2008/11/so-if-im-done-why-do-i-still-have-this.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Saturday, November 8, 2008. So if I'm done, why do I still have this queasy lump in my stomach? Was still making my agent go huh? And By the time they get back to earth I have no idea what's going on. What we got here is a Blindsight. Your soul. If you're not at least a little confused by then end, I'm not doing my job right. The latter of whom literally rewrote my 10K outline in less than 3K — by, in her words, turning Solaris. If I'm feeling especially ...

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded).: Perdido Shell Station
http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2008/11/perdido-sub-station.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Friday, November 28, 2008. From the outline for Intelligent Design. A near-future Crichtonesque (except, you know, well-written) novel currently languishing on my back burner:. The wellhead was attacked and disabled by a pair of giant squid. Now check out this article. From National Geographic (thanks to Karen Fernandez for the link), paying special attention to the embedded video. I miss the seabed. I want to go back.

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded).: I Hate the New Normal.
http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-hate-new-normal.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Friday, January 9, 2009. I Hate the New Normal. Tendonitis, they tell me: chronic, and calcified, and apparently dating from the time I dislocated my shoulder while surf-kayaking in 1991. Now. After almost two decades of peaceful dormancy the fucker decides to wake up and turn me into the One-Armed Wonder throughout the holidays— apparently provoked by too many lame-ass bench presses and one catalytic arm-flail while avoiding a faceplant on sheer ice.

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded).: This is the Way the Year Begins
http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-is-way-year-begins.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Friday, January 2, 2009. This is the Way the Year Begins. Not with a Bang but with a Rant. Because baby, you. But it is also a time to raise your voice and rant, because what good is science if its practitioners are forced to wear ball gags, lest they discover things our rulers don't want to hear? Then we had an election, and a significant number of Canadians not a majority by any means, but enough to make the difference did what people en masse. Research...

http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2009/01/and-now-for-word-from-our-sponsor.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Thursday, January 22, 2009. And now for a word from our sponsor. Anyone out there know someone in Toronto with a used treadmill (or elliptical trainer, I guess) to unload for a reasonable price? I can always go the Craigslist route, but I'd rather do business with someone one of you folks personally vouched for. It's important to have someone other than me to blame, in the event I get hosed.

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded).: Iterating Towards Bethlehem
http://rifterstemp.blogspot.com/2009/01/iterating-towards-bethlehem.html
No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Most of you probably know about Turing machines. Hypothetical gizmos built of paper punch-tape, read-write heads, and imagination, which can step by laborious step emulate the operation of any computer. And some of you may be old enough to remember the Sinclair ZX-80. This hairy little spider right here. Here's the thumbnail sketch: we have here a spider who eats other spiders, who changes her foraging strategy on the fly, who ...

Locus Online Features: Cory Doctorow: Writing in the Age of Distraction
http://www.locusmag.com/Features/2009/01/cory-doctorow-writing-in-age-of.html
Cory Doctorow: Writing in the Age of Distraction. From Locus Magazine, January 2009. We know that our readers are distracted and sometimes even overwhelmed by the myriad distractions that lie one click away on the Internet, but of course writers face the same glorious problem: the delirious world of information and communication and community that lurks behind your screen, one alt-tab away from your word-processor. Short, regular work schedule. Leave yourself a rough edge. Helps you carve out your 20 min...
