A fascinating roundup of some (starkly contradictory) reviews of my novel Green [ Powell's | Amazon | Kindle | Barnes & Noble | Borders ]

Fantasy and Fitness: Interviews with Jay Lake and Elizabeth Bear

Get Fuzzy on what writing really is — Plus bonus parts of speech!

Faults “intollerable and euer vndecent” — Language Log is rather funny about 16th century prescriptivism. With primary sources, no less. A must-read for word geeks and grammar geeks.

PETMAN prototype — A walking robot that approaches the uncanny valley from a different direction. (Thanks to .)
