Posthuman Blues

Check out my new essay on comparative exo-planetary architecture. Prof. Stan McDaniel and Dr. Bruce Cornet both responded with some interesting additional information that I'll post as soon as possible.

I worked on editing the Mars book yesterday. I've been gone since this morning wandering stores, eating Chinese food and buying tacky plastic figurines (including a hysterically quaint moon rover complete with anonymous astronauts). I have several new websites I intend to add to MTVI but first I think I need a nap; it's blisteringly hot out, with no breeze, and I'm feeling done in.

I have a new car, which I love so far. It's fully loaded, with a sunroof and airbags. I'm still pretty sore from the crash and don't exactly relish driving to work, but at least now I'll be doing it in relative style.
