Passing a Milestone

Posted on 23 September 2007

Our present secretary, Joshua Martin, was nominated to run against him, and would have been an excellent director, but Jim has a track record with the company since before its beginning, [...]

Germany as Inspiration

Posted on 23 September 2007

Ed Bartlett of Baen’s Barflies had this to say in an discussion about legality and morality in Germany. The guy who started the discussion was ‘Ulrich’.

A Lost Day
