DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

At the seventy-fifth anniversary of the appearance of the first Peanuts comic strip, I went back to my library’s ebook lending service and signed out the final Peanuts Every Sunday colour collection. I didn’t rush through it, aware that I was coming to the end of the strip, if in a selective way. There was, too, the enduring thought that I might not be able to say very much about it.

I decided a little while ago to go into the city and attend an outdoor book fair. While I’ve been to it before, I was wondering about what, if anything, I’d buy there. That thought could have strengthened as I passed by the kiosk for a notable science fiction bookstore, conscious all over again of what frayed if not snapped certain of the strings connecting me to the genre in print.

When I saw a small hardcover on a table, though, I picked it up and looked at the blurb inside the front cover. Mason Coile’s Exiles promised “the first people arrive on Mars to find the robots that put together their base in disarray.” While the book seemed pricy (I suppose I haven’t been looking at hardcovers too much of late), I kept thinking about it, and then I bought it, not as my only purchase at the fair.
It was a speedy read )
