may now be played online for free. An
artificial intelligence programmer has created a Flash version of Death
Stacks and made it publicly available.
You may try your hand at it by going here. (This programmer also offers an even faster,
and more difficult, downloadable open-source version for off-line play.) Feel free to give it a try. And remember, the fourth annual Death Stacks Tournament
is only a few months away (June 2, 2007 in Charlotte NC) Four gleaming trophies, ranging in size
from 10 to 27 inches tall, will go to the world’s top players. One of them might be you. ----------
The Future And You is now teamed with Jim Baen’s Universe As host of The Future
And You, I am proud to announce that this podcast is now officially
allied with the largest and, I believe, best online science fiction and
fantasy magazine in the world: Jim
Baen's Universe. This alliance will take the form of a mild sharing of
content. They will let me write a
regular column in every issue of Jim
Baen's Universe describing what's going on within this program, and will
also let me contribute a nonfiction article to their magazine as well. I, in turn, will give them ten minutes
within each episode of my show. Their intention for their ten minute segment is to have one of
their many famous authors read a sample of his or her writing, and also to
have a Click-&-Clack style duo, nicknamed Stoney and Bananaslug, banter
back and forth about what’s new within the current edition of their
magazine. I would like to emphasize that I have not given them any
control or ownership of this podcast, nor have they given me any control or
ownership of their magazine. This
alliance, however, will provide The
Future And You with a subtle yet very important benefit. Like winning the Parsec award a few months
ago, it will give this show additional credibility. It will make this show that much more an
"insider" within the science fiction and fantasy industry. Which, dear listener, will yield a direct benefit to you since
it will give me greater access to the very people you are most likely to be
interested in hearing me interview: writers who are famous for their
brilliance. If you are as fascinated by discussions of the future as I am,
and I suspect that you are, you are in for many wonderful treats. ----------
The Future And You Is now an award winning
show --- It has received
the Parsec Award for “Best Speculative
Fiction News Podcast” Stephen Euin Cobb, the host of The Future And You, was presented with a Parsec Award in the
category "Best Speculative Fiction News Podcast" at the first
annual Parsec Award ceremony “for excellence in podcasting” which was held on
September 2, 2006 in Atlanta GA, at “the world’s largest popular media convention:”
Dragon*Con. In his acceptance speech, Stephen thanked the podcasters who
had encouraged him to start a podcast back when he knew nothing about what a
podcast was or how podcasting was done: Mur Lafferty, Tee Morris, and Rich
Sigfrit, and he also thanked his photographer/assistant/sister, Peggy
Gregory, who has helped him through his many promotional travels to science
fiction conventions, book signings and TV appearances. ---------- 未来およびあなた 今日の証明できる事実に基づく未来についての考えそして意見 多くのインタビューを含んでいるpodcast。それは毎月作り出される。 著者および未来派によって催される、スティーブンEuinカツブ [Stephen Euin Cobb]。 What does it say? Translating directly
