The Demolished Man
Having visited Normandy, having been to Pointe de Hoc .... I am in awe of what was accomplished.
Velma @23 and Xopher @ 26:
It's the rush talking of the phone number, as if that's going to save them a penny or some fraction in their phone all.

Evan Goer @ 10: "It also won't let you delete a message until you've heard the entire thing."
This works with my cell and desk phone: press 3 twice, quickly. That takes me to the end of the message where I can do with it as I wish.
In 4 weeks I've had 8 phone calls here at work, and 4 of them were personal.
What I hate are the messages were at the end the sender rushes through their phone number resulting in 4 or 5 replays of the message to try to figure out the number.

"Disch is not the only person active in sf who ended his life with a gun. Alice Sheldon and Walter M. Miller Jr. also went this way."
Also: H. Beam Piper.
Looks like the Barr piece slipped in from some alternate history.
At Balticon Elspeth Kover, Robin Johnson (yes, from Tasmania) And I were in the bar watching this on CNN.
Pretty spiffy. We do live in a science fictional world.
This arrived today and goes out to a lot of libraries:

It's an amusing strip dealing with life & adventures in a library. And yes, it's quite amusing.
Curious ... how much spam has littlebrother.offer@gmail.com received in the short time it's been online?
