Beyond science fiction

One of my friends once said to me, “You know, chick flicks are more science fiction than science fiction.” In a way, it’s true. But let’s not forget that science fiction often becomes reality after a few decades. :) (Yes, yes, I realize that my argument holds no water.)

In other news, I’ve been updating the Blogs I Read page, and while it’s still not completely updated, I recommend swinging by there and visiting some of the blogs listed.

And tonight I’m going to go to bed early. (Lately it’s been exceedingly hard to get to bed before 11:30, which means I’ve been a walking zombie all week. Not good.)

Oh, wait, one last little tidbit: I’ve started digitizing the Joseph Smith as Scientist book (by John A. Widtsoe), and since it’s only 173 pages I don’t think it’ll take too long to clean up the text and then typeset it all nice an’ purty. I’ll put the text/HTML up on Riverglen Press too, and submit the text to Project Gutenberg.

I don’t know about that. Science fiction generally involves some degree of innovation, which I find is conspicuously absent from most chick flicks.

Thank you! I went to google books to read Widstoe’s book after you mentioned it in a post and I barely scraped through a few pages. A good type-setting will make it fly!
