Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Location: London, U.K.		If you haven't checked it out already, check out the Bantam Dell site. They have "Second Life" virtual book signings... including a great one by George R.R. Martin.

Very cool idea! Anyone else seen Second Life readings like this?

Location: Dallas, Texas		well, the interview quite good, if brief, but the graphics were a bit creapy to me. perhaps if their mouths moved? i like the idea but the execution leaves much to be desired. i've been spoiled by Pixar.

Location: London, U.K.		Yes... and another twist is: signings using a machine which remotely transcribes the motions of the author's hand as it's signing the signature. Conrad Black did a signing in London from his home in Florida. Ah, technology!

And the inventor of the long- distance signing device in question? None other than Margaret Atwood!
