online fiction

If you’re needing more reading material, Neil Gaiman’s Hugo-nominated, Lovecraftian, Sherlock Holmes short story, Study in Emerald and Vernor Vinge’s The Cookie Monster, and Charlie Stross’ Elector are available online for free. This seems like a good moment to reiterate my nearly unqualified love for Plucker, the Palm OS app that lets me synch pages and pages of web/text content to my handheld, for reading away from my desktop machines. Sadly, my cradle is at work, and I've not got the BlueTooth synch sussed out as yet, or they’d be on my T3 already.

( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
