There’s only forty real people in the world

And some of them are hamburgers, as Captain Beefheart would say.

I’ve been mentioned on Instapundit.  It’s a very strange experience, kind of like the first time I was mentioned in Locus.  http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/

Here I was with my cup of coffee, seeing what the world had been up to before I was fully awake, when lo and behold, there was my name at the top.  (Under in the mail.)  Before my eyes focused I wondered what I’d done during the night while I was asleep that was so newsworthy.

I’ve bought more SF/F books on Glenn Reynold’s recommendation than I care to list, so finding myself mentioned in his blog was sort of like "oh, wow.  How small the world is."
