Saw her play this in Orlando. It was one of the best songs of the night. Great stage performance. She's genuine.

I agree, in part, with what you're saying, especially at a clinical/dangerous level, and knowing introverts and creative types and those who find a balance with those demons ... you don't always get the creativity you want by "fixing" the issue with professional help. The act of creation can be its own therapy, which…

Just got Stone Age on your recommendation. It's definitely legit. Played for about three hours straight. Thanks!

Help me out, why use "Lady scientist" in the hedline? At first I thought it might be making fun of the NYT, but not even the so-called "Gray Lady" felt it necessary to point out her gender in the hed ... Granted, I could be missing the point of the hedline but her career and her cause is noteworthy regardless.

The "over qualified" argument just doesn't make much sense these days. There are so many highly skilled and experienced people out of work, that even if someone is "over qualified" and I'm afraid they might be bored or I won't be able to afford them, I still call them to see if there's a potential match. We've made…

We get so many resumes when we post a job that we're skimming to find reasons not to call people. Not having a degree isn't a definite toss, but it's a big hurdle when competing. It's tough. Also, in addition what you said about the ability to commit and complete something, people with college degrees (liberal arts…

Wow. I'm sufficiently astounded. The last few minutes could easily be the start of a slick, found-footage, science fiction film. The Graceful Tumble was riveting. I nearly fell out of my chair.

I've covered murder trials before where depositions were taken. I don't think it's typical for criminal cases (of course it's normal course for civil court because you don't necessarily need everyone to appear). I think Joey_Barton is right about Florida. Not every state allows this.

I pretty much hit the download on my nook the moment I see the words "Charlie Jane Anders" and "book review" — never steered me wrong. (her own short fiction is worth your time too, btw)

You're right, it's not a tough question. A tough question would be: How did you let this happen and why didn't you give us a heads up? Once you go into bankruptcy, the creditors line up and the court decides the path of disposition for the company. All bankruptcy documents (federal indictments too) are filed online on…

The terms of the plea agreement allow him to use the Internet for educational purposes according to Wired. He can also use it supervised if his probation officer allows.

So I guess you're saying the governor is "Lawful Evil?" hehe

Shane would argue that you are correct, Rob, and I think the writers have been toying with this "Was Shane right in his naturalistic view of the world?" this entire time. However, I think the Guv is evil, self-absorbed and perfectly characterized by Michonne as a "Jim Jones type." Certainly him enjoying it matters.…

When I see CJA recommend a book, I just buy it. She's never steered me wrong. This one is downloading on the Nook, which gives me time to suggest that you try Catherine Asaro's Primary Inversion, and just pretend her name is C. Asaro and the "C" is for Carl.

Dr. E., thanks for saying all that because I agree, and you just saved me some typing. That being said, I appreciate Cyriaque's perspective. That kind of in-the-know is why I frequent io9 frequently.

Nook with glowlight came out first, so I got it first. Sounds like it's about the same. I don't see any light when I'm using it, so I don't think your characterizing the functionality the way it actually works. It's easy to adjust he light. You just drag your finger along a slider bar. It turns pages superfast too. I…

Okay, so I enjoyed this episode, but I didn't respect it all that much. Glad they made the angels creepy again. The first appearance of River and the angels with Matt Smith wasn't very overwhelming. They lost their ability to send folks back and instead broke their necks. The former is much more interesting than the…
