October 31, 2006

From a co-worker… A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and…

House is the new Law & Order

Curtis Chen

D and I have recently become addicted to House, the Fox show about the grumpy gimpy doc who solves medical mysteries. I was first intrigued by the frequent references to it on TV writer Jane Espenson’s blog, and when she…

Read my short story at 365 tomorrows, the daily flash fiction site: “Antique” It’s less than 500 words, so it won’t take you long. Then, if you have anything to say, feel free to share it on the forums. This…

Today, I picked up a library copy of Tomorrow Happens and read the first story, a prequel to the Uplift Universe novels. Without spoiling anything, I can tell you that dolphins are involved. The title of the story? “Aficionado.” Smoke…

Last night, I attended a Neil Gaiman event (my third in two days, but that’s another story) at Kepler’s bookstore in Menlo Park. During the Q&A, someone asked how Neil’s Jewish heritage and upbringing had affected his writing, if at…
