  1. TrantorCon in 29,999... on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 1

    Lazarus Long says, "I'll be there! Will you?"

    If nobody even remembers this time-traveller's con from less than twenty years ago, it hardly seems likely that the MIT one is going to meet its thousand-year goal either.

    Nice try.

  2. Ideas on Ask Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    A lot of your early work was based on astronomy. More recently, you've written a number of things about slower-than-light colonization. (Incidentally - this is not my question - am I correct that with Destiny's Road your intent was to tie it, Grendel, and the Smoke Ring all into A World Out of Time?) Do you believe there's anything further to be said about STL colonies? If not, where are you looking for ideas now?

  3. well finally on Eyeballing the Future of Retina Scanning Lasers · · Score: 1

    I'm glad they're finally releasing this commercially. Wearable fans have known about the project for a long time, but the devices were only being sold to "system integrators", meaning corporations interested in designing computers to use them. I was going to buy from one of their competitors (who don't use retinal scanning) sometime in the next few months, but now I'll wait.

    Keen keen.
