The Dispatcher
John Scalzi's new audiobook-only story is out (and FREEEEEEEE)! The Dispatcher is fantastic, a short listen (~2 hours), and is narrated by The Other Spock Zachary Quinto. It's really good, with an interesting core concept that is a pleasant departure from John's typical Sci-Fi fare.
> "Your face is always smug. You have resting smugface"
And dangit if Zach doesn't hit the narration out of the park. He brings each of the characters to life, subtle and unsubtle, whether noble, time-worn, or murderous. Can't wait to see (hear?) what else he ends up narrating.
(Resting Smugface is my next band name.)
I'm With Her
I'm speaking as an Ex-Conservative, Ex-Republican who cannot abide what the party has largely become, and has lost affinity with the selfish, neo-libertarian outlook of that party, even before Trump came along. Trump represents the most horrid of personal, professional, and political behaviors and needs to lose by as large a margin as we can muster.
I'm voting for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, and likely Democrat on most of the down-line races in AZ.
Hey the blog is kinda back
Still looking around for static asset host, and maybe a new domain? Monkinetic.com expired (it's a sad story involving blogger apathy and 2FA gone rogue).
