Some surprisingly pleasing news about Hugo Awards and Ottawa...

Just before leaving the current day job for the weekend, I heard from Alan Neal on CBC Radio's All in a Day the following good news: Amal el-Mohtar, a local SF&F author, is a Hugo Award nominee!

Confirmation from the author...

Wishing her the best of luck!

Progress of a Sort

It looks and feels like progress towards having a "reading page" - I still want to say "friendlist" - with content dominated by fellow users rather than feeds from outside weblogs...particularly today. Wondering if later tonight or early tomorrow would be good for a self-reintroduction posting?
