The latest story from issue 4 of S&F is up: “The Case of the Missing Flower Pot” by Bruce Holland Rogers. This one is a blast, and one of my favorite stories from the issue. I’m a big fan of mystery shows on TV, and I love picking up old copies of Ellery Queen; this [...]

The title says it all. I hope you’re all able to eat too much and enjoy the family. For me, it’s time to hit the sack.

A new story is up at Son and Foe: “Sunday, 10:15” by John Kuhn. As you may have noticed, I’ve inadvertently taken a mini-hiatus of my own. Today, hopefully, marks my return to more regular updates. In case you’re wondering, I’m now at 90,000 words with my debut, breakout, probably – not – going – [...]

Voting’s important, and it’s bipartisan. Check it, and weep.

Here it is: the most important news story of the year. It’s a thorough analysis of the problems with Diebold’s e-voting machines written by a tech site that most people probably haven’t heard of. If you live in a state that uses these monstrossities, please write a real letter to someone in power and let [...]

I work early in the AM on Sundays, and I usually have enough time to complete a few small Son and Foe related tasks–namely, taking fifteen minutes and posting the latest story. Tonight, however, was very busy for a Sunday, and I found myself rode hard the entire shift. I’m going to sleep now, and [...]

Today I just finished the new basic look of the site. It’s very nice. File sizes can and will be reduced a bit, and it doesn’t yet validate, but other than that, I think it’s pretty nifty. It will be ported to the other sections of the site soon, but for now, it’s just at [...]

A new story from Issue 4 is up on Son and Foe: “The Last Moments of a Doomed Race” by Carrie Vaughn. I would make some sort of comment on the story now, but there’s not too much to say. I mean, it’s barely long enough for its own punchline. Pretty impressive, I’d say. Or [...]
