Breaking news from the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation in Waterloo, ON (I’m not making this up): any Rubik’s Cube (remember these things?) can be solved in less than 26 moves:
The study brings scientists one step closer to finding the so-called “God’s Number” which is the minimum number of moves needed to solve [...]

Johan suggests Coolio’s “Gangster’s Paradise” to be Chaucer’d. A fine suggestion, but, alas, I can’t sing/rap/whatever. Seriously. I got no voice for it.
In addition, ’tis hard to imagine making anything more funny out of this song than Weird Al’s “Amish Paradise”:

It has been suggested, among other things, that I consider Chaucerin’ a recent mega-double-chocolate-bestselling novel by Hack Bro… I mean, Dan Brown: The DaVinci Code.
Or, as I term it, The DuhVinci Code.
The sins of this book — both from a writer’s perspective and an academic one — have been sufficiently catalogued elsewhere; so there’s no [...]

I just moved in — I haven’t even unpacked all the boxes around here yet — and already I see all manner of folks coming ’round for a visit!
Welcome!
It ain’t gonna be all-Chaucer all-the-time around here (though you can expect at least a few more books to be Chaucer’d ‘ere I’m done), but since [...]

Many thanks to [...]

During our time out West this summer, we decided to head out to Moab, UT for some hardcore jeeping — and it just so happened that we went with the owner of 4xGuard, who was up for a bit of product testing in his gorgeous Grand Cherokee.
Here’s a video I put together of “Big Red” [...]

Not too long ago I decided I was unhappy with my laptop when it comes to writing. It isn’t a bad laptop — a lightweight, compact, fairly recent Sony Vaio — but there are things about it I don’t like. Like a hot lap, for one. Waiting for it to start up, for two. And [...]

One of my favorite genre magazines is Shimmer Magazine. General Editor Beth Wodzinski and her staff have truly terrific tastes — they’ve bought three of my pieces so far (the latest of which was commissioned) — and the art direction, by Mary Robinette Kowal, is simply second to none. Seriously. Cover to cover it’s the [...]
