Inquiry on Piracy; call for nominations for orchids and onions.

View 704 Monday, December 5, 2011

Today was devoured by locusts, which is to say work on maintenance including of my car. I am preparing a column, starting with the major topic of the Internet Piracy Protection act now in review by Congress, and the great dispute between Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Anyone with strong ideas on the subject is invited to send me mail about it.

I also want to remind everyone to nominate items for the annual Orchids and Onions Parade, as well as the products that you found most useful/interesting last year.

I’ve been hard at work developing characters and plot items for the new novel Niven and I are doing, and Steve Barnes has just finished his work producing the first draft of the Novella by Niven, Pournelle, and Barnes set in the Legacy of Heorot world. Niven has taken a pass through it, and it’s my turn, after which we need to confer. But it won’t be all that long now before that goes out.

All in all it’s easy to stay busy.
