Yes, I’m a sucker for folding things. I ordered a folding webcam last week and it arrived today. So much fun. And its resolution is better than my old one. Where’s my old one, you might ask? It’s in the boxes of things that we had shipped from Iceland to NYC and is waiting for us there. But it’s doing me no darn good there, and if we’re going to be here for another two months, I wanted a new webcam. And it folds! Did I mention that part?

Artemisin reviews Apex Digest Number 9 and has this to say about “Locked In.”

Mary Robinette Kowal has a sick mind and Locked In, one of the shortest stories of this issue, is also the one I’ve found most terrifying so far. It’s another medical dystopia about a paralyzed man who cannot communicate with the outside world. When his family finds a way to get through to him, the result isn’t what he imagined.

Is something wrong with me that I think being told that I have a sick mind is a compliment?

Aimee Amodio posted this and it seems so simple and so fun that I want to play too.

Tell me about a story I haven’t written (yet) and I’ll give you a random sentence from that story.
