You’ll Always Have the Burden With You

November 14, 2010 by Ken

Remember how I always wanted to write a specfic story about the tax code? That story, “You’ll Always Have the Burden With You,” has been sold to Dagan Books for the IN SITU anthology.

Now this isn’t a specfic story involving the tax code PLUS Lisp programming, which I have yet to write. But I’m halfway to completing my goal now.

Pneumatic Tube Transport and the Tax Code

October 10, 2010 by Ken

I’ve been thinking for years about writing a specfic story involving the tax code. I’ve also been thinking for years about writing a story involving pneumatic tube transport.

And now I’ve done both. (No, the PTT story is not really about “an Internet made of tubes” — though if you agree that the railroad was the Victorian Internet, then the analogy may apply to my story as well.)

Now we’ll see if I can get them published.
