Thoughts (and occasionally fuming) about the state of science, fiction, and science fiction.

A Visit from Old Nick
Neither a typo nor a synapse misfire, today's subject line does, nonetheless, reflect an error of sorts: it's what I should have named "A Visit to the Network Control Center."
Futurama version?
And having posted a link last year at this time to this very poem, I can now declare it a holiday tradition :-)
A happy new year sir. In a countryside of Japan, town of nakano, I am in a scary situation. My 90 years old father is printing new year postcards with my help. He experiences a singularity before me. A great lesson.
I'm a physicist and computer scientist (and an MBA, of less relevance to most of these posts). After thirty years in industry, as everything from individual technical contributor to senior vice president, I now write full-time. Mostly I write science fiction and techno-thrillers, now and again throwing in a straight science or technology article.
A happy new year sir.
