Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

Damn. Another great writer gone, this time George Alec Effinger. I loved the Marid Audran books. And enjoyed pretty much everything else of his I read.

This isn't shaping up to be a good year.

...Krazy Kat is back in print! A whole new volume of Sundays has just come out.

Today's fun link - Waiting for Godot: The Adventure Game

...was inspired when we spotted the title of a biography of the Queen Mother: My Darling Buffy: the Early Life of the Queen Mother in a remaindered bookshop on Charing Cross Road.

Did the Queen Mother really live her early years in California, fighting vampires and demons? What deep dark occult secrets do the Royal Family hide? Is there something evil lurking under the new monuments on Constitution Hill? Did the artificial hip help aid or hinder her slaying? Who is the Slayer now that Buffy is dead? Or are Prince Charles and the rest of the Scooby Royals now working dark magics to see the return of Buffy from the grave?

We can only speculate...
