This is not where I live. Other things I do. Can-Con 2016: My Day 1. September 14, 2016. I was very fortunate to be able to attend the full three days of Can-Con (in Ottawa) this past weekend (September 9-11). I’m going to summarize the con with commentary. I’ll start with Friday. There were four workshops offered on Friday, prior to the official opening of Can-Con and I attended two of them (commentary follows). The other workshop was by Derek Newman-Stille. Get Plot with Julie Czerneda. I learned a goo...

Eric in space →. August 8, 2012 · 10:00 am. There has been a long-running disagreement among those involved in space science over which are better at exploring the Solar System: robots or human beings. The former, obviously, despite their huge price tags, are cheaper. But humans are far more flexible and effective. And now that Curiosity is on Mars, the robot proponents are going to feel pretty smug for a while. Eric in space →. 3 responses to “. August 8, 2012 at 11:05 am. In some ways it’s good t...

Darius Jung: March 2014
http://dariusjung.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 March 2014. Aggravating Fantasy Tropes and Clichés. The Onion AV Club recently ran a piece asking contributors what TV tropes aggravated them the most. 160; Personally I would have added the moderately unattractive, doofy man with the inexplicably hot wife/girlfriend. It also made me think about common tropes in fantasy fiction. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Aggravating Fantasy Tropes and Clichés. View my complete profile. The Onion A.V. Club.

Darius Jung: December 2014
http://dariusjung.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 5 December 2014. Review: Ghost on the Throne, by James Romm. The best non-fiction works have a strong narrative without sacrificing academic rigour. My favourite work of this kind, Batavias Graveyard. By Mike Dash, is an excellent example of a book I did not want to put down, even while reading the notes. Ghost on the Throne. By James Romm, also passes this test and is easily the best non-fiction book Ive read this year. . Labels: ALEXANDER THE GREAT. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Darius Jung: A New Day Is Dawning
http://dariusjung.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-new-day-is-dawning.html
Wednesday, 26 November 2014. A New Day Is Dawning. Yes, at long last, some output. The accursed day job is finished, probably the worst job since Kiff's. Wait, scratch that, that doesn't happen for another thousand years. OK, it's the worst job since the poor bastard who had to catch Henry VIII's jizz. Anyway, expect some new/old posts as I catch up.

Darius Jung: Review: The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch
http://dariusjung.blogspot.com/2014/06/review-lies-of-locke-lamora.html
Tuesday, 10 June 2014. Review: The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch. It's hard not to be too effusive about this novel, Scott Lynch's debut. It is a great read that stands out moreso for being the author's first published effort and became an immediate favourite of mine. In a fantasy setting. Though punctuated with instances of brutality so common in fantasy these days, it never loses its sense of lightness and fun. A put a smile on my face the whole time.
