Inquiring (Aussie, excited) minds want to know.

As JohnOR says, Downunder IS a place worth visiting. We think so, anyway :).

I was thinking about this recently, and couldn’t figure out how a film might portray the Special Forces’ ability to communicate faster than realborns. One scene that jumps to mind is in TGB, when Curie shows Jared how slow speaking to a realborn is.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

also make nominations for this year’s Hugos, but they can’t vote for the awards. In fact I got a nomination ballot from Anticipation last week but have yet to receive anything from AussieCon4. I’m guessing the next progress report will have it.

The annotated list will have age ranges. Secretly, the infants will probably find all the books chewy, but at least Tough Chicks has cheery illustrations.

Is it ever to young to start reading Scalzi to your children? Well, there might be some awkward questions about the orgy scenes in The Ghost Brigades.
