My grandfather died this morning and I'm going home for the funeral and shiva. I'll be blogging sporadically, if at all. Thanks in advance for all your condolences, but this message is mostly a plea to take it easy on me for the next week or so. Just keep emails and calls to a minimum — nothing but essentials. Blog-suggestions should go to the form, not me. See you all next week.
I'm not blogging today, but if I was, here are the links I'd post:
Notes on Iain M. Banks's Culture
Fox CEO's Comdex speech deconstructed
Short story in Salon, announcement that Salon will do reprints from Coppola's Zoetrope mag
