Nov. 5th, 2009 09:33 pmNewScientist has an interview with Terry Pratchett. He talks about his fascination with science and inspiration for Unseen Academicals. There is interesting stuff about how he deals with his Alzheimer's and how it changed how he writes books now that he can no longer type. It is inspiring that he fights the disease by learning new things when he looses the old skills. He also answers some readers' questions - like where he gets his hats.
Black holes for space travel. The science paper explaining how to create really, really small black holes that can be used as the drive for interstellar travel. They could be used for reaching sub-light speeds. Science and science fiction - sometimes all the difference is the journal type.
And if that space travel possibility seems a bit far fetched to you, you can chose something closer to home. Like the orbit. The space hotel takes reservations for 2012. You just need 4.4 million dollars.
The two sequels I actually care about. Robert Zemeckis talks about the Roger Rabbit sequel on MTV - mixing live action, 2D and motion capture, I hope he can make it work. And it seems that the work on Dr. Horrible 2 is moving on - there are some songs written already.
