Playing Doctor >> Recommendation
Oct 15, 2011 Uncategorized
Here’s a fun listen if you’re into podcasts and mad scientists. It’s a story titled “Playing Doctor” by Robert T. Jeschonek. You can read it on the Escape Pod site, but this is one that actually translates really well to the audio format. Perhaps it just caught me at the right moment.
Only you can say for sure.
“Operation Hercules” to On Spec, and Other Little Bits

So, yeah, it’s been awhile. What can I say?

I won’t even begin to attempt to catch up on a month and a half of life. Instead, I’ll just say that time flies and leave it at that. On the other hand, during that time I’ve been to Chicago to send my daughter to Japan, and I’ve been to Lafayette to leave a car off, and I’ve been to Australia for a over a week on a business trip.
There’s always something to do, eh?
In the meantime, I’ve gotten a little writing done, and I get to report that On Spec has now expressed interest in publishing my short story “Operation Hercules.” Still working on the arrangements, so nothing’s final, I suppose. But I’m very excited about that one. It’s a favorite story of mine, and I’m very happy to see it find such a fine home.

While I’ve been a bit silent around here, you can get a more routine dose of Collins activity by following Brigid’s adventures in Japan. She’s been far better about keeping, you know, up to date. [grin]

Here’s a story to make you think.

Lisa joined a health challenge at work, and had a 4:00 meeting at the health club. This meant that I went with her and did a second workout. I’m … ah … feeling it. In a good way. Yeah. Right. A good way. Uh-huh.
I’m sure it will feel better tomorrow.
Uh-huh.
A Fish Tank Full of Escher

Craig Reade at cxPulp gives Deca-Dad three and a half stars, and rates it one of the better stories in the December Analog. I’ll take it.
While you’re just kinda sitting there vegging, you might find it fun to check out these two great pieces of animation at TOR.com. They are like watching a fish tank full of Escher.
