Biohackery<\/a>, a do-it-yourself wetware mods site snarfed a picture of me in Jellyfish Lake from the Cory Doctorow story in the new Flurb<\/a> webzine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent yesterday helping Rudy the Younger<\/a> lay the new floor in his kitchen. It took 13 hours, including a leisurely (!) rush hour drive down the Nimitz to San Leandro to get four gallons of the special glue needed to attach these bamboo-resin planks the floor. Rudy said we were scoring Substance D, and it felt like it, filtering home through tiny CA backstreets to avoid the blocked freeways. I love all the little houses in Berkeley; the air there is so great off the Bay and ocean.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What with our road trip to the Wild West, and putting together Flurb<\/i>, and copyediting my antho Mad Professor<\/a><\/i>(cover by Georgia Rucker<\/a>), and going through the whole Postsingular<\/i> manuscript revising it, and proofreading the galleys of Mathematicians in Love<\/a>, I haven’t, like, written<\/i> anything new on my novel for a month now. And I left my heroine Thuy Nguyen in dire straits, facing the evil transhumanist Jeff Luty and the subdimensional sentinels…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Animal-headed men and women rushed about, some on foot and some flying along the sand. And there, climbing the steps of a lotus-columned temple, were six bird-headed men with the magic harp! Flutes and drums sounded from within the great stone hall; a ragged bonfire on its floor illuminated a blood-stained altar.<\/p>\n

“Not stopping to ponder, Thuy ran at the sentinels, screaming her defiance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Moments later she was bound hand and foot. Two jackal-headed women slung her from a stick and carried her up the steps behind the bird-men bearing the harp.<\/p>\n

“A familiar figure was standing before the altar with a twitching giant scarab in his hands. Jeff Luty. The drumming rose to a crescendo, punctuated by shrieks from the flutes. Luty smiled wetly and extended the scarab’s large jaws towards Thuy.”<\/p>\n
