It has been a horribly long time since I posted anything on my blog. So I’ve been thinking about ways to revitalize it. I’m going to start a few things, including posting updates on how my writing is going, and posting some articles related to my two current books. Plus, since my wip Demon Blood is set in the Twin Cities–where I live–I’m going to post from time to time when something interesting happens here in town.
If you’re not sure whether you’re registered to vote or not–or even if you think you *are* registered to vote–you might want to check out this site to be sure. Can I Vote has links for all 50 states. In addition to checking whether you’re registered or not, you can also find out where you need to go to vote, whether you need to bring ID, and if so what kind of ID.
Ack! I haven’t posted in so long. Been very, very, very busy. School, trying to get the thesis done, and my job at Northwest Airlines (merger, anyone?), trips and now the Olympics. There’s always something!
I’m trying to make this a yearly thing, although I’m a little late this year. Anyway, just like last year, of the books I read in 2007 (which may or may not have been published in that year), these were my favorites.
In the past several years, the FCC has removed many of the rules that kept companies from buying up too much of our media — our TV stations, radio stations, and newspapers. It used to be that a single corporation could only own a limited number of media outlets. What that meant was that the viewpoints we got about the news were sufficiently diverse so we could get a good idea of the whole picture. But with fewer and fewer corporations buying up all the media outlets — with the FCC’s approval — the news we get is increasingly homogenized.

It just gets worse and worse. I had to miss posting a few days, so here’s what’s been happening for the past several days.
Groups Struggle to Tally Myanmar’s Dead
Yangon: Monks Massacred at Monastery
A news clip from September 27:
Overnight, monasteries in Burma were raided by government forces, and at least one and possibly as many as three or four of the protesters were killed during the crackdown. Read the details on BBC’s site and commentary on With Bowl and Robe.
Here’s some more background on the situation:
I’ve been watching the amazing protests going on in Burma for the past nine days. Here’s a YouTube clip from BBCnews from day four of the march:
No, I’m not talking about Soylent Green. 
OK, I know I just posted something about Suz Brockmann yesterday, but today, she put up this wonderful story about having dinner with Joss Whedon. And since I adore both Suz and Joss, and the story was awesome, I couldn’t resist posting a link. Read about Suz’s dinner with Joss here.
One of my favorite authors is Suzanne Brockmann, and she’s currently doing a countdown to the release of her next book, Force of Nature. As part of that, she’s doing a contest over the next three days, where the prize is five of her hard-to-find books. I actually own (and have read) all five, so I’m not going to enter the contest myself, but I do want to see what the results are.
