The Eagle has Landed!

July 20, 1969.

By coincidence, July 20 was the original due date for our first child, which is why chaoswolf's middle name is Diana. She decided to arrive early, though, which is why she celebrates her birthday during Westercon.

This year, I'm celebrating by burning a disk which I hope is epsilon away from a master for Coffee, Computers, and Song! (It's still available for preorder for the next few weeks. After it's real I'll have to start charging sales tax and shipping.)

Update: I had to dash to get to a meeting at work, but about 1/2 hour after posting this I put a call in to Oasis and set the wheels in motion. I'm feeling much better about the schedule since discovering that I can get the project fast-tracked for only an extra $200. Disks at ConChord are looking at least possible, if not inevitable.

So far I've read the first two books, and seen most of the movies in bits and pieces on DVD. So I'll know how the series ends long before I get around to reading through it. If I ever do.

I don't intend to post any spoilers here, but I'm not going to go out of my way to avoid them elsewhere. In fact, I'll probably ask somebody just to get it out of the way. If a book's worth reading, it doesn't matter to me whether I know how it ends: it's all about the journey. Just like I go to the opera for the music, not to be surprised at the ending.
