A list of brief updates

I've been superbusy with various things, so I haven't posted a blog entry in almost a month.

I went to the Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop and had a great time and learned a lot.
I went to an extended Erekson family reunion and really enjoyed catching up with a lot of my relatives.
The Chinese magazine Science Fiction World requested Chinese translation rights for "That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made."
The Italian magazine Robot published their translation of the story in issue #63.
Daily Science Fiction bought another story from me: "A Great Destiny."
I posted my WorldCon schedule on my events page.
I watched Cowboys & Aliens and thought it was a lot of fun.
I wrote a story in an hour for a friend's anthology project.
I found out my collection, Rejiggering the Thingamajig and Other Stories , will be used as a textbook for a creative writing class at BYU.
