Braved -23C weather today to pick up my Secret Santa gift, a book by some guy who used to be on Star Trek.

I've still had nothing, and FedEx seem to have lost the thing I sent originally so a duplicate has been dispatched (this time just in the goddamned post -- at least it costs less for them to lose it. :)

Our little loop worked out...

me -> Ryan, Ryan -> nathan, nathan -> me

I think I was the last person to send but even that was received 10+ days ago.

You mean Wil Wheaton posts here?

Sorry Flasher, if I'd have known you had to brave that, I would have sent along some hand warmers. Or some hot chocolate.

I also got mine in the mail - Souls in the Machine or something like that. I got to see it for all of 2 minutes before it got packed for the move. I'm looking forward to finding the box that it is in and reading it - I don't have any Sci Fi here, and haven't really read any before, so looking forward to it.

It was -28C today. :)

Cory -

Didn't see this before, sorry.

It's sort of sci-fi but also fantasy rolled into one. A sort of steam-power, arcanum kinda fantasy more than sci-fi really. I think you'll enjoy it but I certainly look forward to your review one way or another.
