The (admittedly modest) initial print-run of my short story collection, A Place So Foreign and Eight More has nearly sold out in just over a month since the initial publication (w00t!). My publisher is going back to the press for a second run, and he's asked me to provide him with any errata that I would like fixed before it goes to press (this means that the missing acknowledgements page will finally see print!). If you've noticed any typos in the print edition (not the electronic texts), I'd love to know about them so we can get them fixed in the second printing (oh, also, this means that this is just about your last chance to get a copy of the first edition, which is sure to be an errata-filled collector's item after my untimely death). Please email me by Friday with any tyopos, etc. Email Link

1.	Islamic mobile points to Mecca. A new Muslim-targetted mobile phone uses a compass and location data to tell its owners which direction Mecca is at prayer-time. Bruce Sterling wrote this into a story called "We See Things Differently" for the seminal and brilliant Semiotext(e) SF anthology in 1990. By setting the -5300-compass to the north and inputting their location information, Muslims can now easily find the direction of Mecca. With this feature, the handset positions itself as a specialized functional phone in the Middle East market. In particular, it is expected to spur a boom in the region because the compass may be used even where GPS services are unavailable. I wonder if you can get a ringtone of a Muzzein's call to prayer? Link (via Gizmodo)
2.	Enron's email laid bare. Great Salon piece about the gigantic library of internal Enron email that has been posted online as part of the discovery process as the Feds slowly grind the corrupt empire into tiny, thoroughly punished bits of mince (of course, Kenny Lay will almost certainly walk away with his fortune and person intact, but we all expected that, right?). Amid a sea of dick jokes, spam and Internet porn, the e-mails offer a window into the soul, such as it was, of Enron: from the high-flying days when the company decorated its top executive office suites in holiday themes -- according to a 2000 e-mail, Ken Lay's office was done up in honor of St. Lucia, Jeff Skilling's had Kwanzaa, and Andrew Fastow's was lit up for Hanukkah -- to the end, when things had gone so far south that members of the Lay family began to fear they'd be kidnapped... Dear Joe: Enron, Mr. Ken Lay and Mr. Skilling are requesting that their contribution be matched per our understanding from the fax and verbal communications from Warren Robold. This totals $100,000 between both individuals and the Corporation for the RNSEC matching funds program. We want these funds matched in time for the Texas State deadlines. It was our intention from the onset of this program to have our funds go to this account. The various points of contact from the RNC caused some minor confusion so checks went to Texas instead of DC. This is very important to Mr. Lay and Mr. Shilling. Let us know if we need to request these funds returned and new checks written and mailed to you at your DC address. You may call me if you have any questions. Link
3.	Hellboy fan-film captures interest/approval of Hellboy film director. Jason sez, "This guy did a test animation of a CGI Hellboy that looks very much like the comic book. It looks so good that the director of the upcoming Hellboy movie saw it." I saw it. Is quite spectacular. I truly hope the movie succeeds and we can get a cartoon series off the ground. Obviously this is the guy to go to. Link
4.	Nanoscale avatars for chemistry ed. Roland sez, "In 'NanoKids made in lab,' Nature writes that "man-shaped molecules help students learn chemistry." "A team of Texans has created molecules in their own image. The tiny army of human lookalikes is helping Houston kids to learn about chemistry. The researchers call their molecules the NanoKids. Their bodies are made from carbon and hydrogen, and their eyes are oxygen atoms. Each stands just 2 nanometres tall." The Texan team has produced a DVD filled with the NanoKids to teach chemistry to young students. This summary contains other links to the project and pictures of some of the NanoKids, like the NanoTexan, the NanoTeen or the NanoScholar molecules." (Thanks, Roland Piquepaille!)

1.	MacLeod on The Secret Return of the British Boffin. Ken MacLeod, the Scottish Trotskyist sf author who wins libertarian sf prizes, has briefly reviewed a fascinating-sounding book called Backroom Boys: the Secret Return of the British Boffin. I've just ordered mine. Even many SF fans, I suspect, will be as surprised - and gripped - as I was by the tale of the British space programme. I honestly didn't know that ... (no spoilers from me). Likewise, I didn't know the backroom stories of Concorde, computer games (pioneered by libertarian SF fans), mobile phones, the human genome project, and Beagle 2 (the barbecue-shaped British-built space probe, due to land on Mars on Christmas Day this year). Spufford does more than tell engaging tales. He painlessly puts across a wealth of information about science and engineering. To cover six very different areas of technology and science in such an intriguing way, and to catch the distinctive style of each field's native geek, is a rare achievement. Above all, he tells a coherent story, of industrial decline countered - in part at least - by ingenious adaptation to the 'post-industrial' world. It sharply evokes a lost world of Dan Dare, Look and Learn, and Meccano, and goes on to show us how that world was never lost: that it is, in fact, part of the secret history of today. Link (via Electrolite)
2.	Unicode primer. Joel-on-Software's posted a great primer on Unicode character sets. If developers all read this piece, I'd never get a bloody question-mark and a broken RSS feed when I pasted in a curly-quote or an accent-character. In this article I'll fill you in on exactly what every working programmer should know. All that stuff about "plain text = ascii = characters are 8 bits" is not only wrong, it's hopelessly wrong, and if you're still programming that way, you're not much better than a medical doctor who doesn't believe in germs. Please do not write another line of code until you finish reading this article. Link (via Nelson's Weblog)
3.	Three-parent foetuses. Chinese fertility researchers have created a technique to generat human foetuses with three parents: transfering the guts of a fertilized egg (sans mitochondria) to the hollow egg of a third party, who provides the mitochondria. Link
4.	Boot Xbox into a clustering Linux. There's a new Linux distro that will boot an Xbox into a mode where it becomes a Linux box that automatically seeks out its peers on the network for the purpose of forming a distributed computing cluster. So long as MSFT is subsidising the purchase price of its PC-disguised-as-a-game-box, this seems like a promising approach to forming cheap-ass, pwoerful clusters. Also, you can always yank a box or two out and play some games. Link (via /.)
5.	Private-but-not-secret is hard online. Danny O'Brien has posted a brilliant essay about the disappearance of the "private" sphere online -- the place where you talk about stuff that isn't a secret, but also isn't intended for public distribution. It's a response to some of the griping about the "Foo Camp" that O'Reilly threw last weekend, wherein a bunch of geeks that Tim likes were invited up to the O'Reilly offices to spend a weekend hanging out and playing and chatting. If I was to be perfectly honest, if you were to hover about fifty yards away from the festivities, squinting with your eyebrow arched, it was like that. Were Andrew to hide in the bushes of Sebastopol, he would have had very little of his convictions shaken. People said "ohhhhh cool!". A lot. There was a Segway and an Aibo. There was one particular "acoustic jam" that had me choking on pie and making a polite exit to the bathroom. But you know what? I can do the same thing to your parties. It's easy. And with a few hours training and a dictionary of convenient stereotypes, you could hang out in the shadows of a J-Lo-hosted all-nude sex-party and feel superior too... Much can be made of all of this, but without more substantive points, it's just "Hahahahaha! Aren't the Different People funny?". Yes, it was Californian. This is because we are in California.. .

Nick Hornby, author of Fever Pitch, How to Be Good, High Fidelity, etc, has completely skunked the BBC4 "Desert Island" program -- sure, he only specified ten records he'd bring with him to the hypothetical desert island, but he chose an iPod as his luxury item -- clever sumbitch!
