- I've never really made or kept New Year's resolutions, but I think that goal-setting in general is a good idea. The beginning of a new year is a great symbolic time to set new goals for yourself and contemplate goals already met. With the accessibility attendant with web publishing, I'm going to declare my goals publicly this year so that I can get to them easily. Accountability is not an issue since I probably don't know you and you probably won't take me to task for not fulfilling them (except ... |

- My favorite novel is still Robert Heinleins The Door Into Summer. This book spoke to me in a manner that no other book did. I greatly enjoyed all of the novels and serials Ive read from across the science fiction spectrum, but this book contained a little something extra that still captures my imagination and admiration. It didnt contain the heavy political, sociological or psychological aspects Id grown to love, appreciate and look forward to in Heinlein and Asimovs works. It didnt compare w ... |

- Fancy a Peasant Revolt, Dear?London Riot Re-enactment Society. The London Riot Re-enactment Society will stage re-enactments of noted riots from London's history, with some attempt at historical accuracy. You are no doubt aware of the widespread popularity of historical re-enactment societies, you may also be aware of moves to re-enact more recent events in history. The London Riot Re-enactment Society was inspired by the idea that we can re-enact not the distant past, but events that we remember and may actually have taken part in. |
