Brief gloat
I'm on the top of Forbidden Planet's
weblog. And spoken of in Locus.
(Heh. Couldn't resist.)
As an aside, I should note that the affair of Joe Gordon and
Waterstones (mentioned here)
has found a happy ending. Joe was fired from Waterstones,
allegedly for blogging. I opined at the time that Joe is a jolly good
bookseller who I would be willing to hire (were I running
a bookshop), regardless of his extramural activities.
It now transpires
that Joe has indeed been hired by a retailer -- in fact, by the
Forbidden Planet chain -- with a remit to turn around the
long-standing decline in their book trade. And part of his job
description includes running the company weblog.
The irony is priceless. (And I wish Joe the best of luck with his
new employment.)
