Petition to make “Hella” the prefix for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Carl sez, “A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27,
for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion
trillion).
For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at
0.3 hellawatts.’
It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic
and US national debt.”
Hellagood idea… But we’d never get the International community to agree… Unless Hawking’s onboard…

Adventures of a Pixel Painter
Recently I have been doing a lot of graphic work, pushing pixels into shapes and images (is it really a painting without paint, or are pixels the paint media - ah art philosophy - is the art in the painting or the painting?) that I hope help sell my stories (both in a illustrative and advertising sense). I'm slowly assembling the manuscript for "Ironmaster & Other Tales" and polishing the images as I go, turning

This sort of thing [/caption]
into:

This much improved version[/caption]
But while I was doing that I noticed an email from the Sweat, tears and digital-ink, the excellent blog of MG Mason which sent me to this post. However the original cover was not right, the shadows were incorrect, the numbers were flat and the text was dodgy. It bugged me, so I fixed it for him... and not only did he prefer my version, but he has even given me an illustrator credit :)

Here's the fixed version of the image... Wish I had kept the original for a comparison now[/caption]
As for the book, it releases very, very soon and I can tell you is an enjoyable romp through a very British zombie apocalypse, even down to a cricket bat, which if I had read the book before working on the cover would have appeared prominently. Its not just a running gag, it's practically a character.
I'll be writing a longer review later for the launch, but I thought I should mention it now while you can pre-order still...

It was a lovely style, but I don’t think it would sell many ebooks today.

Still not happy with the women’s faces, men seem to posterise much better (Sam needs re painting as her face has been really messed up - Hildebrandt isn’t as bad, just a little washed out) @. Hildebrandt’s Schrapnelkanon is a combination of a model shot and a trombone.

Amsterdam to Host World’s First Drone CircusGet ready to witness a flying spectacle like you have never witnessed before. Amsterdam is hosting the world’s first drone entertainment show and it looks like a scene right out of the movie TRON. The show, called AIR, is to take place at Amsterdam Arena later this year.
When will we get aerial robot wars?
