word for the day: hectocotylus.
I no longer read 50 books a year, just a few. The one I read today was Dark Tangos.

Argentina, dance, romance, and spy stuff.
Lewis Shiner, a big name in cyberpunk circles, has several other novels free online

While I don't read much anymore, I find I have between 2-3,000 books. They make good insulation, and in some cases kindling, if I ever get the wood stove installed.

50 new planets found by european space agency. this brings the total to 600, plus the 1200 maybes that are being investigated by the spitzer satellite.
even better news is that 40% of the systems checked had saturn-sized or smaller planets.
assuming that some systems have bigger-than-saturn planets, and other systems have planets we can't see yet, that suggests that more than half the stars have planets.
so billions of stars = billions of planets, and there are billions of galaxies. location location location.

New Zealand housetrucks. My housetruck this week is my volvo station wagon, while I'm at a gig in West Virgina. This link is from a reddit thread about a citroen motorhome that gets better mileage than US cars do.
My not blogging a lot lately might be related to my current reddit addiction.
