  • Having to kill our roosters is affecting me more than expected. But no one wants roosters, & they'd have died more painfully in the wild. :/ [ 8:55 PM]

  • Lots of good writing book recommendations and validation that it's okay to be a pantser at the "How I Learned the Craft" panel. #RenoSF [11:58 AM]
  • SM Stirling says spear & chalice has "obvious" symbolism. Tim Powers: "We see that b/c we're living in Freud's nasty bathwater." #RenoSF [ 1:23 PM]
  • Tim Powers has the wh pronunciation. #RenoSF #linguisticsgeek [ 2:04 PM]

  • Anyone at the Atlantis mind sharing their mini-fridge for my lunch leftovers? My hotel is farther away with no shuttle access. :( #RenoSF [ 3:26 PM]
  • S.M. Stirling, quoting some old saying: "In England, 100 miles is a long way; in the United States, 100 years is a long time." #RenoSF [ 5:25 PM]
  • Attending the Hugo Awards Ceremony for the first time... #RenoSF [ 7:55 PM]

What I had to say

  • Walked out of feminist PowerPoint lecture, got warned off bad anthropology panel. Science advisor panel is looking much better. #RenoSF [ 2:19 PM]
  • Michael Cassutt says producers often have to let bad science thru because of time, and they just have to "let the bloggers attack." #RenoSF [ 2:25 PM]
  • John Scalzi: "Don't over-specify [when it's unnecessary]; the choices you make early [in a series] constrain you later." #RenoSF [ 2:30 PM]
  • Audience question about Firefly; reply by Michael Cassutt: "No one screws up a show like Fox… It's like a perfect storm of idiocy." #RenoSF [ 2:33 PM]
  • Audience question about Star Trek science inconsistencies. John Scalzi: "Don't get me started on fucking Star Trek." Hilarious rants #RenoSF [ 2:37 PM]
  • .@AllNiteDinah Completely agreed. But the rant was well worth it: he wished them beatings to death with hammers, whippings & rolled in salt… [ 3:07 PM]
  • Sudden "well duh" realization: if I read short stories, I can explore new genres quickly. A novel* concept! #RenoSF *Heh, no pun intended. [ 3:09 PM]
  • Enjoying a fun dinner at a Basque restaurant with @giynlith, and @mcpusc's dad and brother. #RenoSF [ 9:03 PM]

  • After a couple hours, we have hashed out our schedules. Too many cool things to see. Why do we need this "5-2-1 rule" again? ;) #RenoSF [ 2:08 AM]
  • So many books in the vendor room! It's like going to a bookstore, except the only genre they carry is sci-fi/fantasy. Awesome! #RenoSF [11:35 AM]
  • Disorganized panelists + stinky foot lady = leaving session early for a Chinese buffet. #RenoSF [12:42 PM]
  • If you want an iced mocha, could you ask for it "one the rocks"? This thought amuses me. [ 1:56 PM]
