This is the first post for today. I have written a fairly long piece on the end of Shuttle, and America in Space, and it will go up as a second View for the day.
I am catching up, but still far behind. Mail is accumulating. The Column needs to be written. And Rick Hellewell continues to build this site. This afternoon I am going to try a new word processor editor for WordPress that may solve some of the problems.
I just had a think. In another conference someone asked how you do autograph sessions with eBooks. I suddenly thought of an app. When you invoke it, it brings up the cover of a book you have on the smart phone, and activates the camera. The next picture would be of the fan with the author (taken I suppose by a bookstore clerk). It might even allow a short recorded message from the author. I have no idea if anyone would want this, but I wouldn’t mind having some mementos of that kind from favorite authors.
