Hugo Packet - The Wrong Way to Wright - Private Mars Rocket
http://chris-gerrib.livejournal.com/563712.html
Hugo Packet - The Wrong Way to Wright. May 20th, 2015 at 9:03 AM. I am really bouncing hard off of John C. Wright's novellas. For One Bright Star to Guide Them. I'm baffled by the attitude to magic. Robertson, our first character, hasn't thought of magic for years, yet the instant he sees a black cat he's all magic! What somebody was wearing to the person wearing it? For The Plural of Helen of Troy. Maggie The Tank. I don't like anybody I've met in Troy. Pale Realms of Shade. Suffers from a similar probl...

May 8th, 2015 at 5:18 PM. Republic Bank of Chicago, Oak Brook, Illinois, Assumes All of the Deposits of Edgebrook Bank, Chicago, Illinois. I am employed by Republic Bank, the assuming institution. May 16th, 2014 at 7:20 PM. My employer, Republic Bank, did it again. AztecAmerica Bank fails; one of area's last Hispanic-run lenders. Jan 18th, 2014 at 1:27 PM. Republic Bank of Chicago (my employer) has acquired DuPage National Bank. Apr 23rd, 2010 at 6:17 PM. Now you know what my "minor crisis at work".

The Eiger Sanction - Private Mars Rocket
http://chris-gerrib.livejournal.com/562885.html
May 13th, 2015 at 9:24 AM. Apropos of nothing, I found myself thinking about diversity in fiction. One of the arguments against having non Straight White Males in fiction, especially historical fiction, is that the non-SWMs are "not representative" of the era. Well, here's a fact - prior to the arrival of the Industrial Revolution in any given society, 90% of the population was engaged in subsistence agriculture. They were farmers and herdsmen, poor and living hand-to-mouth. Everybody else. In short, any...

An Old Dog Knows Old Tricks - Private Mars Rocket
http://chris-gerrib.livejournal.com/563288.html
An Old Dog Knows Old Tricks. May 18th, 2015 at 9:07 AM. Over the weekend, I received several annoying calls to my (work-issued) cell phone. When I answer the phone, I get a woman mumbling gibberish to me. Frankly, she sounds like she has Alzheimer's or a related condition. I ended up having to ask my staff how to block calls on my iPhone, which one of them showed me. Out of curiosity, I did a reverse lookup. Old dogs know old tricks. Old dogs know old tricks. Private Mars Rocket - Science Fiction. The ni...

More Sad Puppy Thoughts - Private Mars Rocket
http://chris-gerrib.livejournal.com/563086.html
More Sad Puppy Thoughts. May 15th, 2015 at 11:03 AM. Four thoughts by others. 1) Eric Flint grows weary of the whining of the puppies. As a target of three (3) (! Murder attempts, he has less-than-zero patience for the "persecution" of Sad Puppies. Also of interest, he's a personal friend of (if only in his own mind) "lead" Puppy Brad Torgersen. I suspect Torgersen's "gulag" post caused a bit of heartburn at Casa del Flint. 2) Kevin Standlee posts that fandom is a big potluck dinner. Faith vs. reason.
