		<description><![CDATA[...okay, a dilemma: if it&#039;s spam ... but it&#039;s pimping a site in a pimp thread - does it get to stay?

(My own site, from about the time the Web was born, is http://www.vic.com/~dbd , and looks it.)

And just when I thought I had survived all my children’s efforts to keep me humble, my grand son recently pulled up my shirt, laughed out loud, pinched my protruding belly button, and screamed, “look at Pa’s belly button. It is sooooooooo funny!!”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys,

This site looks pretty cool

I just finished a website that works with kids in Haiti by providing books and learning material. If anyone wants to donate then this is the site:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://universallearningcentre.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Donate to Haiti&lt;/a&gt;

Check them out, they&#039;re a real cause.

Anything would be appreciated]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I&#039;ll pimp myself: 

Okay, a little while ago I finished The Departure, wrote a couple of synopses and some blurbs for it, then sent it off to Macmillan. Good response from the commissioning editor (bloody marvelous). Here’s one of the blurbs for you:

Like Wellsian war machines the shepherds stride into riots to grab up the ringleaders and drag them off to Inspectorate HQ for adjustment, unless they are in shredding mode, in which case their captives visit community digesters, or rather whatever of them has not been washed down the street drains.

Pain inducers are used for adjustment, and soon the Committee will have the power to edit human minds, but not yet, twelve billion human beings need to die before Earth can be stabilized, but by turning large portions of Earth into concentration camps this is achievable, especially when the Argus satellite laser network comes fully online…

Alan Saul has taken a different route to disposal, waking as he does inside a crate on the conveyor into the Calais incinerator. How he got there he does not know, but he does remember the pain and the face of his interrogator. Janus speaks to Saul through the hardware implanted in his skull, sketching the nightmare world for him. And Saul decides to bring it all crashing down…


Not sure if this is what will be appearing on the back of the book, but it gives you a taste of what it’s all about.

I&#039;m also working on a magical realist science fiction novel (which is not quite ready for pimping, yet), but the blog is usually for more philosophical and political musings.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll pimp a new book written by a woman who I volunteer with at the local cat rescue.  It&#039;s called The Cat Who Sang, and I&#039;ve linked the Amazon page up on my name.  It has stories about some of the cats who have come through our doors over the years.  I don&#039;t know what proceeds we&#039;ll get from those sales (Amazon is selling for less than we are asking in person, and of course taking a cut) but anything we do get goes directly to the care of the cats.  If you want to know more about the shelter itself, we&#039;re on Petfinder:
http://members.petfinder.org/~BC136/index.html

For anyone local (Lower Mainland of BC), we&#039;re also selling boxes of holiday season cards (12 cards to a box) and again, all monies raised goes to help the animals.  All cards were printed and assembled by the volunteers.]]></description>
