One thing makes a post

Sitting at the dining room table, looking out the window into the backyard. There’s a robin sitting in the prairiefire crabapple, just looking around. Not used to seeing them at this time of year, but I recall someone telling me that for robins, wintering is relative. Far northern robins may go south, but their south is still north…if that makes sense.

My visitor must be one of those Arctic robins.

But they’re still a sign of !SPRING! to me, so Color Kris Confused. Yeah, I know. Doesn’t take much sometimes.

It will be an indoor weekend, working and pulling together stuff for Confusion. Going to try to pack light this time, but you know how that goes.

Still, a velvet jacket, jeans, and a few clean shirts should be enough, shouldn’t it?

My First Doctor- The Classic Doctor Who Panel – Friday, 02-10-2012 – 11:30 am to 1:00 pm – Botanic Garden A (Special Events – Programming)
Whether he wore a scarf or a leather jacket, he was still the Doctor. Journey back into the vortex to late night PBS in the 1980s or the SciFi channel in the 00s as we look back at the first time we watched Doctor Who.

Does It Matter If Science Fiction Authors Are Bad at Predicting the Future? – Friday, 02-10-2012 – 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm – Willow
Sure, we get some things right, like flip phones or going to the moon, but SF authors also get a LOT wrong when they predict the future. Does it really matter? What is the value of the exercise of making predictions?
