Between the screen refresh rate lines, I have to point out that one of my best friends made during The AOL Days is nominated for Da Big Hugo Award (aka Best Novel) for his first published novel, Old Man's War.

To my HN buddies, if you want a copy and don't have the dinero to purchase it, give me a heads-up. I occasionally buy a passel of them and gift them out, and now that it's out in trade paperback, that's more reasonable.
