the world's worst smelling giant misshapen penis

Anyone wanna go see it with me on Saturday? Apparently it smells like nasty dead things!

(if you ain't local, there's a live webcam -- alas, that nobody's invented smell-o-vision [or smell-o-flash] yet)

contest thingy

GUD magazine is launching issue #3. I mention this because they are having a contest, and it is a Good Thing Indeed to support venues that print short SF, because it's mostly a thankless job.

I'm also posting because this is a magazine I've considered subbing stories to but haven't yet because I don't feel like I have a good sense of what they print, so if I win their contest I get a pdf issue and then I can know if my stuff is worth bothering them with. (-:

So, ah, go check them out.

(Oh, and can I express my utter hatred for websites that, when you register and provide a password yourself, email you that password [that you already know] back? NOT good security practice there.)
