Trying this mobile post thing again
Home to pack for Westercon, in (soggy) Calgary. My schedule, at present, is positively indolent: five panels between Friday night and Sunday:
I have started a clutch of Backpack pages as a repositry of notes, snippets, odd thoughts that will hopefully develop some coherence prior to the panels. Here's the one for SF Mind Control. Monday, June 20, 2005
Meaning of SF
Having two conversations about the meaning of SF this month that seem to be running in parallel: one with Joe Mahoney, via e-mail, and one on the SFCanda mailing list. Best bits IMHO are requoted here.

"Mortal Choice" by Lynda Williams in v.31, n.1 of Dandelion.Delighted to find my author's copies of dANDelion magazine in my mail box this morning. The story I contributed, called "Mortal Choice", is not an Okal Rel Universe one. It is a product of my thinking, on and off, about the problems that would have to arise, of a practical nature, if medicine advanced to the point that people were virtually immortal. And also about generational sparing concerning the "meaning of life", and how that might persist. dANDelion is published out of the English Department at the University of Calgary, and edited by Andre Rodrigues. It was a pleasure working with Andre, who was even adventurous enough to accept my audio file of myself reading the story in lieu of my attendance at the issue's launch, earlier this summer.
