A good way to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox - crickets and tree frogs were there too.

John Scalzi on the Amazon Kindle text-to-speech flap. He's one of my favorite writers and this sort of blurb is exactly why:

• In short: I’m not at all convinced that realistic and engaging computerized audio will be possible at any point in the near or even middle future without requiring a clear and obvious derivative work to generate it. When it is possible, I suspect AI will be at a point where it will also be able to generate actual novels, and then, of course, I will retire, to spend my remaining days being pleasured by my sexbots, until they plug me into the mainframe to use my brain cycles for sewage maintenance and I slip comfortably into the hive mind.

This is sort of how we all feel venturing out after in the first above freezing day since the new year.

We got to spend a too short July weekend in New Hampshire at the farm - there was a fund-raiser for the school on Saturday night - stories, music, food and fun in the beautiful outside.

It's in the 60's and the sun is shining - better even tomorrow!

Fending Off the Flood

The groundwater found it's way into our basement. Luckily there was a happy hazmat team ready to slurp up the dreaded Di-Hydrogen Oxide. We're quite lucky really that the waters were contained in the rear of the basement and the main things moistened were the various found objects waiting to be turned into art. Oh, and of course a few dozen old bikes, but they have been through worse.

*Update* the water's stopped coming in so we can hope for dryer times!

Leo is getting a lot of use out of his new standing up skills - this week's project? "...reorganize the subject catalog of edible baby toys now that I can reach up to the third row!"
