Vin Stone – The Groundsman Published Vin Stone - The Groundsman, the fifth book in the Vin Stone series, is with my distributor now. The ebook was authenticated right away and should be at the retailers soon. It usually doesn't take long for that step, especially since I didn't send it to Amazon this time. You'll be able to find it at Kobo and Barnes and Noble, among others.

She appears to be right about that. She didn't say it wouldn't be a good idea, though.

YouTube – Quantum Shorts – End-User Agreement Today's reading is End-User Agreement by Morgan Long. At the time the Quantum Shorts anthology was published, Morgan Long was a 19-year-old sophomore at Wesleyan University. When not taking classes on math and physics, he was playing games with friends, reading science fiction, or watching YouTube videos. The quantum concepts in End-User Agreement are the act of observation, computing, non-locality and superposition. You think End User License Agreements are bad today? Just wait until someone delivers a quantum computer to your lab. rjb Link.

If you're going to do it to women, then you might as well do it to men. Wait. That's what they're working toward, isn't it?

Looks like it would be necessary to add one. We're lucky out here. Our zone turns out to be very close to 15 degrees. If you go on permanent DST then the people in the western portion of your zone will find it staying dark until late in the morning, won't they?

The consensus is that the Habs owned the game for 50-55 minutes. It was very comfortable until they let the other team in at the end. Fortunately, we have Caufield.-)
