The velocity approximation given by the algorithm is m1 = n1lim, where n1 = Nep1/Ndt1. By the nature of the counting, Nep1 can be any whole number while Ndt1 is a natural number. If the velocity is higher than lim, there are more Iep impulses than dt impulses, so Ndt1 is always one; on the [...]

So what does Jacob do in his final words: bless or prophecy? Does he know these things will be or does he wish it? What is the relationship of these two activities? What relationship exists (relationships exist?) between a future tense and an imperative mode? Worth thinking about at any level you want (especially in [...]

Receeding Stars When all the stars have fled away you will discover that no more can gods come from the Milky Way, but faceless wander pathless seas without a guide or farther shore beneath the feckless galaxies. No constellations in the void of shame and surreptitiousness. And through it rumbling, unemployed and rusting inter-stellar ships [...]

Anubis was the dog-headed Egyptian god. I’m sure Moses knew of him. I think of Anubis in connection with Genesis 48 because what happens is strange and I am wondering if we weren’t meant to laugh. C.S. Lewis, after some conversations with his wife who was Jewish, began to comment to people in letters that there [...]

Need to live in a city where people are doing this: And more: http://www.youtube.com/user/lutevoice (I love the way that dude plays the lute.)

In order to finish a story I need a list of the kind of things stores and restaurants give away. Such as: ketchup packets, plastic forks, butter packs, chopsticks etc. Any ideas? Any weird things you’ve ever gotten? At one of the coffee shops here you always get a napkin and two coffee beans dipped [...]

All effects are legitimate. LEGITIMATE!, you see? ¡Luhgitimecht! Luh-dgi-dammit, the sound there, the overt suggestion undermined. And so things were assimilated in the clacking of the keys typewriterwise. We now? We now with other symbols/signs juxtapositional in ways that writing would have rendered meaningless we type. We have now the formality of formal fonts! The [...]

. . . had Tolkien not known how to tell a story. I do envy them some of the things they can do in the illustrations. Like the style a lot mostly.

Congratulations! Your piece titled Skaftna’s Doom has been accepted into Yesteryear Fiction and will be published on our front page on 2/29/12! (It’ll still be available in our archives to link to or read after that date.) Editor’s note: Very elegant. I like this piece a lot! :) -E What to do now: Spread the [...]

The sonnet [No Resignation] disappeared, but the encouragement was needed and went down well. I have now submitted a whole lot of stuff and am working on a whole lot more in a mad, heedless way. Thanks to my new pal the snake-handler, I use Duotrope which is an awfully good idea and easier to [...]
