Christy, check out the online support community at Inspire.com. I know the Womenheart community there has made surviving the rocky parts of major heart disease much easier through good advice and laughter and the wonder of having sisters who’ve lived it too. http://www.inspire.com/conditions/breast-cancer/ And start thinking what you want to do post chemo – a [...]

The Grand Marshals committee select several Grand Marshals each year – not just one. Manning and others were selected by leaders of the gay community who themselves have been grand marshalls and who see Pride as not simply some corporate friendly “fun-loving” event such as Alan Kurtz above seems to desire.

Perhaps the main point is that it’s none of Tbogg’s business who the gay community of SF or anywhere choses to honor.

Good to see people joining this. I’m hoping to join the Chicago rally today – and hope folks look for their local actions to join in:

Addicted to Scandal … its an amazing show that has deconstructed more about our current political reality than any news program for example. Definitely watch from the beginning … I also find the recaps at Vulture fun to read along with episodes. I had never watched a Shonda Rhimes (sp?) show before so the comments there [...]

This is such a pleasure to read and think about … I love the whole concept of looking at big problems helping solve small ones along the way.

I love Henri as well but there’s something quite wonderful about the simple kitty advantures in the vid above … and the dogs are wonderful!

Thank you Bev – as always! – for organizing the Salon and bringing us such a great author.

And David, you mentioned more Uplift possibly – what are you working on? and are you doing any readings or tours where readers can meet you?

David,

Stepping back a moment to the world of science fiction specifically – I’ve read a little of the current debates about the state of Science Fiction. After the classics – Brunner, Heinlein, Bradbury, Clarke et al, it felt as if your generation – and I would include generally folks like Kim Stanley Robinson, Vinge, Greg Bear, Banks, and others – flourished, building on that classic foundation but imho making speculative fiction singularly important for anyone who wishes to understand the fast pace of our evolution now. More recently it feels like there are fewer authors – except for Meiville – who have that same ability to enthrall as well as inspire. I find myself wondering if the newer generations, living in a world where high speed technological changes are become commonplace perhaps feel less wonder at the future and so imagine fewer tales for us? How do you see the next generation – and who might we be missing?

This sounds amazing … and so exciting to see this range of disciplines working together.

David, could you tell us a bit about the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UCSD?
