Bi-Weekly Notes: July 21–August 10, 2025

Another somewhat delayed two-week wrap-up, because…

  • 🚀 Worldcon is nigh! Nearly all of my outside-of-work brainspace has been been taken up with Worldcon prep and website updates, as we’ve been in the final crunch before the con kicks off.

📚 Reading

I finished Martha Wells’ Murderbot series with Network Effect and The Murderbot Diaries Vol. 3 (collecting Fugitive Telemetry and System Collapse), followed that up with a bit of comic smut with Jonas Goonface’s The Ship of Unsinkable Fools, and then read my next TNG novel, Simon Hawke’s Blaze of Glory.

📺 Watching

I started notes on the last two Star Trek: Strange New Worlds shows, but so far haven’t finished writing them. The short version: still enjoying, great show, good-naturedly grumbling about canon and holodecks showing up far too early.

🔗 Linking

I’ve saved some links, but they’ll get added to the next wrap-up, as I need to get back to prepping to head to the hotel and spending the next week at Worldcon!
