Hello readers (still mostly people from Russia hehe). I've been away for a bit. I was uh...on vacation....yeah... Anyway, now its time for the news. I have a small piece appearing in a new local Kitchener-Waterloo magazine called Fuss as part of a small writing contest. It's a free magazine so check it out in July in your neighbourhood coffee shops, I think that's where you can find them, or at Wordsworth books in Uptown Waterloo. The story, flash fiction, based on an old photograph, is entitles 'Hats.'
Other plans; I realized I still haven't finished uploading the story 'Tomb of Odin,' so I'm going to get on that soon, plus I've finally finished a story about an old local bar and an alien guitarist that I may post, although I may try sending that to a few magazines first (and editing...ugh).
So, that's all for now; check out Fuss' July issue and thanks again for reading!
*** A few little updates for you. The July issue of Fuss has come out. Sadly, the magazine is no longer going to be with us, so it will be the last issue. But my story was there! I'll probably post it here, plus the longer version I wrote before I cut it down for the length requirement in August sometime.
In other news, the Physics community believe they have discovered the elusive Higgs Boson! This elementary particle, along the ultra-small scale of electrons, quarks and the like, may be what gives matter mass. There are other implications such as the Higgs Feild, the cosmological constant; once thought to be Einstein's Greatest Blunder, but maybe not and a better understanding of how the four forces (gravity, strong and weak nuclear and electromagnetism) operate. But there is still much work to be done to be completely sure that the data they saw is really signifying the Higgs Boson, such as repeating the experiment, to make absolutely sure they found what they found. If the data is correct, this could allow us to gain a much deeper understanding of the cosmos, and you never know, possibly some new innovations, such as a peek at dark matter, and...gasp...the ability to travel at the speed of light!
