Windows WeeklyMacBreak WeeklyThis Week in Tech - TWiTIs it kind of sick that I listen to the Windows Weekly and MacBreak Weekly podcasts mostly for their Audible.com commercials?

While listening to the latest Windows Weekly show Leo Laporte referenced a recent episode of This Week In Tech (TWiT) (#223) in which they had SF author Jerry Pournelle as a guest. Now I’m going to have to add yet another TWiT show to my podcatcher. Here’s the Jerry Pournelle episode |MP3|

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. It is 93 million miles in radius – the equivalent of one Earth orbit or 600 miles long – 1,000 meters thick, and much sturdier than a Dyson sphere. What other advantages are there to this world? The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping.

Larry Niven’s novel Ringworld won the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

Night Shade Books - Fast Ships, Black Sails edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer Do you love the sound of a peg leg stomping across a quarterdeck? Or maybe you prefer a parrot on your arm, a strong wind at your back? Adventure, treasure, intrigue, humor, romance, danger–and, yes, plunder. Oh, the Devil does love a pirate–and so do readers everywhere.

Swashbuckling from the past into the future and space itself…
