A miscellany

• Today on my bus ride home from school (Route 32 represent!), I learned that LexTran is joining transit services around the country in marking the fiftieth anniversary of Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus. There was a photograph of Mrs. Parks and a sign explaining what was going on taped to the foremost seat.
• At the post office, there were, as usual, books for Gwenda. I'm in the habit of discarding the packing material in the recycling bins they have there to save a little weight on the walk home, and that's how I know that we now have a copy of the recent Jeffrey Ford short novel, The Cosmology of the Wider World. Yay!
• I went out to a local bookstore yesterday and jotted down the table of contents of the book I mentioned yesterday. There are some very good stories in Beyond Singularity; here, have a look (listed in the order they're printed in the book):
• Old Hundredth by Brian W. Aldiss
• Border Guards by Greg Egan
• All Tomorrow's Parties by Paul J. McAuley
• Naturals by Gregory Benford
• Osmund Considers by Timons Esias
• Coelacanths by Robert Reed
• The Dog Said Bow-Wow by Michael Swanwick
• Barry Westphall Crashes the Singularity by James Patrick Kelly
• Flowers From Alice by Cory Doctorow & Charles Stross
• Tracker by Mary Rosenblum
• Steps Along the Way by Eric Brown
• The Millennium Party by Walter Jon Williams

My own contribution is at the end of the book, which you can order by clicking the cover over there to the left.

You missed one--Charles Stross' "Rogue Farm", 3rd in sequence after Egan's story. (I'm writing up a description of the book for listing on Locus Online, and your blog turned up in Google search results for the title!)
