A Few Links for My Boredom as much as Yours

The title says it all – I’m not motivated to ‘real’ work, so I figure I link a few things that I’ve found interesting in the last week or so.

• SF Signal has another Mind Meld – this time discussing what people would change about SF if they could. A reaction from Andrew Wheeler proves the more interesting read.

• Hi, my name is Jim C. Hines and I’m prejudiced against media tie-in books.

• Grasping for the Wind asks bloggers what they think is behind the popularity of urban fantasy – a question I found to be very interesting. My response seems to stray a bit from the others.

• Watch a video about the mysteries of lightening – cool stuff!

• A volcanic eruption in Alaska may be releasing enough sulfur dioxide gas to cool the global climate for a year or two.
