A few links of interest from around the web:

• A recent episode of The 1A asks “what’s inspiring the next generation of dystopian narratives?”
• Award-winning SF magazine Strange Horizons has kicked off its yearly fund drive.
• I’ll point to the Hugo Awards recap on Pharyngula with a note that while I haven’t been an active reader of fanzines, there look to be some interesting ones in the list this year.

And given that it was Eclipse Day here in the US, let me just say on behalf of those of us who can’t deal with much sun: thank you, moon.  Can we do this again sometime soon?  Please?
