Well, we did it. We’re now iPhone users. And this post comes to you courtesy of the WordPress app.

Star Trails
The trails are stuttery because the clouds rolled in, off and on. But I’m quite enamoured with the colours that I ended up with. (And here I contemplated doing it up in black and white, to avoid the orange glow of the streetlights.)

Task list
- Rent chainsaw
- Chop up tree that fell in the back yard
On a related note: anyone want some maple firewood? I can’t say yet how dry it is…
Stray thoughts as I biked to 10th Street to visit G., and then home again
On the way there:
- Man, that wind is cold. Cuts right through my jacket. I’ll sure be glad on the way home, when it’s at my back.
- Not a lot of traffic, even for a Tuesday evening about 8.
- C’mon, turn green already.
- Thanks for giving me plenty of space.*
- I’ll have to make sure I turn off my taillight when I lock my bike up.
- C’mon, turn green already.
On the way home:
- Crap, I left the taillight on. Oh well, it doesn’t draw a lot of battery.
- Still not a pile of traffic.
- I”ll be halfway home before G. gets to his truck.
- How can the wind be in my face in both directions?
- Heh. “Pleasure Chest“.
- Oh right, washboard**. This sucks even worse at night.
Later:
- Oh crap, I left my taillight on again.

* Not sarcastic; the truck in question went into the other lane, giving me lots of room, something that doesn’t always happen in this town.
** They’re repaving several streets in my neighbourhood. So far they’ve done the part where they tear up the old asphalt. The surface left behind is less fun to bike on than you’d think.
The Evans Theatre
Part of the “webmonkey” side of my profile: I’ve been monkeying with the Evans Theatre’s website, trying to make it look purty and be useful. I’d like to think I’m close.
Have a look: Evans Theatre’s new site
<nerd>It’s a hand-coded WordPress theme using responsive design concepts. Check it out at various browser widths — the images should (mostly) scale nicely. If you’ve got an iPhone or some other pocket browser, I’d love to hear comments.</nerd>
So? Is it purty, or what?
“Exit Interview” is now available online
Read my short story “Exit Interview” on Daily Science Fiction.
Not only is it up on the site now, but it appears to be the “Featured Story” on their site, too. Woo hoo!
Keycon 28 (1)
This past weekend I went to Keycon 28, the latest iteration of Winnipeg’s science fiction convention. I had been invited by Craig Russell, and since I’d never been to a con, I figured, Why not? Continue reading

Another sale!
I’ve just received an email telling me that one of my short stories, “Exit Interview”, has been accepted for publication. I’m just waiting now on the contract.
Woo hoo!
Well that's convenient
So I’ve been taking a course on “The Art of Managing Your Career”. It’s a look at the business side of an arts career, and since I’d love, someday, to make a living (or at least part of my living) as a writer, it’s right up my alley.
Today we were discussing websites, among other things. So I said, “Hey, since you’re looking for sites to review, here’s mine.”
I thought it rather convenient that the random picture chooser script I’ve got on my homepage selected this photo to show to the group:
Ah, random numbers. How I love thee.
