It seems that The Dragon and the Stars, in which I have a story ("Threes"), won an Aurora award. Thanks to those who voted, and congrats Derwin and Eric for having their hard work rewarded!
(At first I accidentally typed "The Dragon and the Stats." I think that's a different, less interesting book that involves university-level math.)

Interview with Umberto Eco on CBC Radio's Sunday Edition this morning. I have no plans to brave any of Eco's dense historical novels, but it was an enjoyable interview. He made the point that computers allow you to write at the speed of thought, but sometimes you need to slow yourself down with pen and paper. I wonder if writing one-handed (technically one-fingered, or rather, one-thumbed) on this iPhone does that for me--slows me down, in a good way.
