A few links for the nerds on my flist

Friday membership at Swancon is only 20 dollars. And oh look, that's when both of my panels are :D (Casual anime and hard sf with soft sciences)

There's been a bunch of discussions about how Swancon could improve, eg from angriest (and again) and tommmo, I'd be really curious to hear any opinions from Perth nerds who don't go to Swancon (or do and are dissatisfied). Anyone deep down want to run panels but are too shy/intimidated? I think it's really important for more new people to get involved, and here's some stuff you could volunteer for.

One of the positive outcomes of RaceFail09 is verb_noire, an e-publishing house for works about POC and/or GLBT characters. (And this is a good summary of the fail and why it matters if it's all a bit confusing)

And now I'm going to try and ignore my comments for a bit, because my arm is sore. (Yeah, I know, posting to lj when I feel like crap is like a sickness with me)

A summary I haven't read yet! Gosh!

There's a lot of them about, I think because people kept saying "It's too hard to figure out what happened, I'll just assume both sides suck equally" :)
