Reading Time

I have a question for you all. Do you know anything about the Spectra Pulse Magazine? I was recently at Borderlands and discovered this free issue (the premiere issue for 2008 apparently) and decided to pick it up because it sounded interesting…and it was. In fact, I want to get more of it. It’s really good, beautifully made, and I’m quite impressed. I’ve never heard of it before (I know it’s in connection with the SF/F publishing imprint), but if this is a new regular print or something I’d like to be subscribed. It was that good.

Anyone know anything about it?

  1. You’ll be here over winter break, so I’ll let you read it then.

    blondeswtp: thanks for the link. I knew of their facebook page, but I was hoping the magazine itself had one, but it doesn’t seem so. I really hope they publish more. Heck, I’d love to write them an article…*hint* Anywho :P.

  2. hello

    I realize this post is over 3 years old but if you are still interested in getting a copy of Spectra Pulse, please email me and I'll send you a copy. We only did two issues. It was supposed to be ongoing, but there was all sorts of restructuring within Random House, and budgets got slashed. So no more Spectra Pulse. Anyway, if you are still interested, email me at sasmith@randomhouse.com.
    I'm not going to be there much longer, so hurry!

Book Review: Start Finishing by Charlie Gilkey (2022)

Sometime near the end of the Spring semester, I decided it was time to take another crack and reorganizing my life. I’ve gone through years of on again / off again burnout, some of it my own fault (I’m disorganized and try to do too much) and some of it a consequence of things about which I have no control (my former university essentially bankrupted itself, forcing me to find a new job in my field, and I’ve since moved twice — the short version). All that burnout and overfilled plate-ism has made it harder to keep up with grading and find the energy to complete tasks on time. So it seemed only logical to use my university library privileges to borrow a variety of recommend productivity and project management books to see what advice, systems, etc. are out there.

A Reading List of Dystopian Fiction and Relevant Texts (Apropos of Nothing in Particular)

Why would someone make a list of important and interesting works of dystopian fiction? Or a suggested reading list of works that are relevant to those dystopian works? There is absolutely no reason other than raw interest. There’s nothing going on to compel this. There is nothing in particular one making such a list would hope you’d learn. The lists below are not an exhaustive list. There are bound to be texts I have forgotten or texts you think folks should read that are not listed. Feel free to make your own list and tell me about it OR leave a comment. I’ll add things I’ve missed! Anywhoodles. Here goes:

Duke’s Best EDM Tracks of 2024

And so it came to pass that I finished up my annual Best of EDM [Insert Year Here] lists. I used to do these on Spotify before switching to Tidal, and I continued doing them on Tidal because I listen to an absurd amount of EDM and like keeping track of the tunes I love the most. Below, you will find a Tidal playlist that should be public. You can listen to the first 50 tracks right here, but the full playlist is available on Tidal proper (which has a free version just like Spotify does). For whatever reason, the embedded playlist breaks the page, and so I’ve opted to link to it here and at the bottom of this post. Embeds are weird. Or you can pull songs into your preferred listening app. It’s up to you. Some caveats before we begin:
