We made it past Leap Day. What does the rest of the year have in store?
A U.S. Presidential election.
Olympics in Beijing.
A new John Urbancik novella from Bad Moon Books, Necropolis.
(Also, from some other publisher, a novel, Midnight, details of which are yet to be revealed.)
Another Daylight Savings-related time shift. (Two, in fact.)
Politics as usual.
A new Batman movie, as well as Iron Man and Indiana Jones and a slew of other geek-happy titles. (I love me some geek-happy titles.)
Oh, and Wall-E. Go Pixar!
Did you know 2008 is the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue? Get on the phone and call your cross-pond buddies!
China's Year of the Rat.
A total solar eclipse (better seen from Western China than from America's southeast).
This is the year Issac Assimov's "Franchise" said a computer program would select the US President by finding the "most representative citizen."
And, in a mere month, we'll once again celebrate Fools, during which we may change the value of pi to its Biblical 3.0, grow spaghetti in trees, change to the metric way of telling time, or attend any of the numerous free concerts throughout the world. Don't forget, twice on this day, in the past, classic rock radio stations to which I listened permanently (not just for the celebration) changed their formats to country music.
How will you celebrate the Fool? How will we celebrate the Fool here? All will be revealed... (and I can't wait to find out myself!)
