So, my vote goes with a wisely-worded mention here in Living Room, with some indication in their profile of their passing and a link to the relevant post. May be especially nice if immediate family/friends could be passed the link as well.-Edvard (July 08, 2013, 09:57 PM)
I'm good with that.-Stoic Joker (July 08, 2013, 10:32 PM)
Humble Ebook Bundle II with Little Brother!
It's time for another Humble Ebook Bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/)! Once again, I was honored to serve as
volunteer curator of the Humble Ebook Bundle, a project from the Humble Indie Bundle people who've made Internet history by bundling
together awesome, DRM-free media and letting you name your price for it. We did the first Humble Ebook Bundle last fall (with my novel
Pirate Cinema) and made over $1.25 million in two weeks (!). The new Ebook Bundle is even cooler. Here's the lineup:
- The Last Unicorn (deluxe edition), by Peter Beagle
- Just a Geek, by Wil Wheaton
- Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow
- Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest
- Spin, by Robert Charles Wilson
- Shards of Honor, by Lois McMaster Bujold
As with all the bundles, there is a secret stash of releases in the wings for week two; if your payment is higher than the average at the
time you make it, you get them for free (and they are sweet!). Otherwise, you can always get them by topping up your payment. And as
always, there's charities involved -- you can earmark some or all of your payment for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child's Play, and
the Science Fiction Writers of America Emergency Medical Fund.

I'm going with Bazqux.com (a 30 day trial after which you're charged $9, $19 or $29 a year for the same service, you get to decide what it's worth) over Feedly's freebie.-nosh (June 26, 2013, 06:37 AM)
"This proposal stands apart from all other aspects of HTML standardization: it defines a new 'black box' for the entertainment industry, fenced off from control by the browser and end-user," said EFF International Director Danny O'Brien. "While this plan might soothe Hollywood content providers who are scared of technological evolution, it could also create serious impediments to interoperability and access for all."
