The usual crew would be Jason or @jlw, Cory or @doctorow, Xeni or @xeni, Pescovitz or @Pesco, Rob or @beschizzaā€¦

Youā€™ll see them around. (And there are others youā€™ll see less, like @orenwolf, @felton, @maggiek, etcā€¦)

Jason Weisberger, aka @jlw, aka the publisher of this fine site. I donā€™t know the behind-the-scenes management scheme, but I think he runs the place.

Oh.

I skimmed that on my first day, but didnā€™t really commit it to memory.

Although I admit, I honestly thought you meant some dude named ā€œAlā€ too, and just didnā€™t bother with proper capitalization.

Others are in cahoots with the queen and among other things in regards. Theyā€™re all the same person.

Iā€™m what had to be demonstrated. Iā€™m what had to be demonstrated.

Or alternativelyā€¦angular mass, quantum electrodynamics. Angular mass, quantum electrodynamics.

But that second one is just nonsense :yum:

I think we should try and sneak this one into the next Democratic debate.

I agree. Probably still will buy something one of these days. Some of those book bundles look neat. Iā€™m already pretty far behind on my reading though. :sweat: The shirts and other wearables seem to be gone.

What they do have seems to be a nice mix of semi-practical stuff at pretty ok prices and ā€œhuh?ā€ that I would expect from a store for mutants.

Iā€™m pretty sure my sister-in-law is a reptilian, and she hasnā€™t said anything about them. Are there different tribes or however they describe their social groupings?

I snag some of the childrenā€™s books for my niece and nephew and soon-to-arrive daughter.

And this thing turned out to be a pretty good deal.

If I could stand to write on paper with a traditional pencil, Iā€™d be all over that. I have sound sensory issues so drawing on paper with a pencil is disturbingly like nails on a chalkboard for me.


Second the recommendation for Scrivener. If youā€™ve got anything big and complicated to write, itā€™s the best thing.

Add me as an enthusiastic third. I havenā€™t written any fiction in a long time, but lately Iā€™ve been playing with some ideas because Scrivener is such a joy to use. It makes it easy to write a little, walk away, and pick up later where I left off, which is my life right at the moment. I could never do that with Word or any of the popular commercial word processors.

You pay $15 for a bottle of barefoot? Thatā€™s quite the mark-up.

Chandon brut is probably my favorite bang for the buck. The barefoot prosecco ainā€™t terrible, but it is best used as an orange juice delivery mechanism.

Cristal can eat a bag of dicks, veuve cliquot is where itā€™s at.
