- Look at a map of the locations of the Chinese 'ghost cities'. Now look at a map of their coastline if the Antarctic melts (+60m). Yeah. about 8 hours ago from TweetDeck

Got some writing done
I’d planned to do some more writing on my own time again this year, which seems to be working out ok so far. It’s all terrible but I enjoy it, beats the crap out of ghost-writing project proposals anyway.
The Singularity Skepticism piece that I wrote up on SpaceCollective about a month ago got some good reviews on io9 & h+ magazine, and most hilariously (as far as I’m concerned) a very serious one at Accelerating Future. Thanks to the various reviewers, glad you enjoyed it.
Today though I GOT PAID. A ‘story‘ of mine was accepted by twitter fiction magazine Thaumatrope, and I made a straight buck twenty. Shit is crazy, I’m heading out now to see how much coke & hookers $1.20 will get me. This is going to be amazing, hopefully I can keep up this insane pace and don’t burn myself out too quickly.
