While Virgin Galactic staggers towards its inaugural flight, Space Adventures is quietly getting on with business. The only company to have sent private individuals into space – seven people since 2001 – it is now preparing to launch the world’s first private mission to the moon.
It's only $5 each...

"The recording artist Sarah Brightman plans to travel to the ISS with Space Adventures next year, where she plans to become the first professional musician to sing from space."
If she sings "starship trooper", I'll become the first person to send a rocket-propelled assassination device into space.

If you're looking to read something...
From Larry:
"I want to push this book as high as possible. Brad is a great guy, great author, and this is his very first novel. He’s one of my Writer Nerd Game Night players, a Sad Puppies alumni, Chief Warrant Officer in the Army National Guard, and all around good dude who needs to sell a ton of books so he can quit his day job and spend more time writing awesome books."
|
|
|
|
|
So the qualification required to make someone a good writer is being someone else's friend?
I've never heard of either Larry or Brad, but they sound more like characters in the kind of DVD I'd never rent than authors/book reviewers.

I haven't read anything of Brad's; but Larry's Monster Hunter International and Grimnoir series are among my favorite fantasy series from the last few years.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

... in absence of OG is about to end, and I'm wondering how he is getting over it. Not only no CP but all the software world is connected via internet! I was thinking how one can get her/his work done without...(OG maybe is OK as he has no work to do...That's the reason he hanged so much here  )
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

What is your question, again?

We did our work just fine prior to having internet!

I remember that, but it was a different kind of work. Today I can go home I internet fails in office...
(However I remember that connection was everything back than too. I used to 'record' programs for C64 via radio programs, and if there was disturbance in the radio waves I got bugs...)

Yeah I guess we relied on each other, or just muddled through it ourselves.

Do I sense a bromance? You really miss him, don't you? I am sure OG is quite happy with his sheep, you will just have to let him go man, let him go.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

I think I envy him...

You can get your own sheep, you know. No need for envy at all.

Nah. They're free everyday.
For the last ~15 years, the Baen Free Library[^] has offered a number of free ebooks; generally the 1st few in a series. It was temporarily squeezed down in size when Baen was first made available on Amazon due to the latter insisting on MFN pricing and putting anything in the free library at zero as a result. The workaround Baen came up with has been second edition books (generally either a new forward or afterward) and then the old version is permanently free on both their site and Amazon (and presumably B&N, etc but I'm not sure). OBS might only have a free ebook edition at the moment (I thought a 2nd ed was out, and would've expected it to go with the leather bound limited edition if nothing else, but can't find it); but the revised HOTQ[^] is out and for sale every day.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about that. I always like a free read.

It's a trap! Don't fall for it! They give you a couple of free books, and then you wind up having to get additional bookshelves to fit all the ones you subsequently buy.
(Currently cataloging my "library". Can't blame Baen for the majority of them. Only the last few dozen...hardcovers...of the 3000+ books is their fault.)

It's the same way with people who keep giving me their money.
I have to keep opening up bank accounts because the other ones become full.
It's a terrible trap.
