In which I talk too much about robots:
Apparently I didn’t wear out my welcome talking about anime, because the folks at SF Signal’s MindMeld column asked me to participate in another round, this one on the coolest robots in science fiction. Snip: I decided that the robots I love best are the ones who aren’t trying to be human. Why should they?

"Kick-Ass" kicks ass
And Peter, who I saw it with, agrees with me. A lot of people are whining about this movie and how morally depraved and empty it is. Here’s why: Kick-Ass Red Band Hit Girl Trailer – Watch more Funny Videos But you see, those people are wrong. Charlie Jane Anders brings up the important point

"What do you want?" "Information!"
Charles Tan was kind enough to interview me about The Shine Anthology, and you can read it here. Snip: CT: What made you decide to write science fiction? MA: A lot of things. I was raised in a science fiction household. My dad had this copy of “To Sail Beyond the Sunset” under the bed,

But everything that made him a good director is visible here: the way he frames each shot, his fascination with the transformation of a girl into a woman, his willingness to trust in the strength of the original source material.

Friday Food Blog: Where my food comes from
